Mayhem broke out during a session in the Rivers State House
of Assembly on Tuesday morning when hoodlums broke into the House and attempted
to seize the mace.
The group also assaulted the Speaker of the House, Hon.
Otelema Amachree. 5 members of the House led by Hon Evans Bipi had moved to
impeach the Speaker.
Commissioner for Information, Ibim Semenitari, in a
telephone interview with Channels Television revealed that commotion started
when Mr Bipi walked up to the speaker and started ‘slapping’ him as members
were still exchanging pleasantries.
“While that was going on, they didn’t know that some
hoodlums had accessed the assembly. The governor (Rotimi Amaechi) was informed
and therefore left the government house to go and ensure that people were
protected
As the governor got there, some people began to shout ‘shoot
him’ ‘shoot him’
They were standing in the gallery. These were policemen who
are paid by tax payers
When somebody tried to rush to attack the governor, people
had to protect the governor” she disclosed.
The leader of the house was injured and rushed to the
Government House clinic for treatment.
