Rivers state House of Assembly witnessed a very rowdy session today for some minutes after two months of adjournment as
pro-Governor Rotimi Amaechi legislators battled five renegade lawmakers rooting for the political opponents of the governor.
The minority lawmakers, whose agenda was to impeach the governor made the impeachment of Speaker Otelemaba Amachree and other principal
officers the first priority.
They thus stole into the House of Assembly at about 8.30 am earlier before the normal sitting of the House and smuggled in a mace.
But they met eight Pro- Amaechi lawmakers including the Speaker Otelemaba Amachree, Chidi Llyod, the majority Leader and six others in the assembly.
Frustrated that their coup was a mission impossible , one of the five rebels, Evans Bapakaye Bipi,
went straight to Chidi Llyod’s seat and physically assaulted him.
As Llyod and Bipi were having a fisticuff, the Speaker who stepped in to separate them was also attacked by Bipi.
A free-for -all started, with blows being exchanged by both sides.
The chaos has left some of the thugs wounded and some taken to the hospital is said.
The video of the scene explains better and how it all went down at the state house of assembly.
