The crisis rocking the Rivers State government took another dimension this morning as the state Assembly members reportedly signed an impeachment notice on Governor Siminalaye Fubara.
In a session presided by the Speaker, Rt Hon Martins Amaewhule, House Leader, Hon Edison Ehie and those loyal to Governor Fubara were suspended.
The explosion that occurred at the Assembly House on Sunday night was alleged to have been a ploy to stop the lawmakers from gaining access to the Assembly on Monday.
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.
Meanwhile, the entire Moscow Road leading to the Rivers State House of Assembly has been barricaded by armed policemen.
Meanwhile, Governor Similanyi Fubara has broken his silence on the crisis rocking the state. He said that security operatives fired direct shots at him.\
