The crisis rocking the Rivers State government has taken a new turn, as the state Assembly reportedly signed an impeachment notice on Governor Siminalaye Fubara this Morning (Monday October 30).

In a session presided over by the Speaker, Rt Hon Martins Amaewhule and attended by a good number of members, the Leader of the House, Hon Edison Ehie and those loyal to the governor were suspended.

It was gathered that the explosion that occurred in the Assembly on Sunday night was alleged to have been a ploy to stop the lawmakers from gaining access to the Assembly on Monday. The incident was blames on by suspected political thugs.

As early as 7 a.m., some lawmakers made their way into the House and immediately commenced plenary where they all signed the impeachment notice on the governor.

The arsonists had carried out the act on the hallowed chambers of the Rivers State House of Assembly at about 9:45pm, causing uneasy calm around the assembly complex where the State Police Command also stands.

In a Video that was trending on Facebook, the Governor was seen reacting to the purported impeachment notice.
