BREAKING: Police take over Rivers Assembly quarters

On Friday, the Rivers State House of Assembly complex’s entry and exit were taken over by men from the Nigerian Police Force.

The lawmakers’ estate’s first and second gates were surrounded by more than thirty police officers, and the remaining two entries were blocked by roughly twenty-five patrol trucks.

Shortly after Speaker of the House Martins Amaewhule accused Governor Sim Fubara of plotting to destroy the parliamentary quarters, the police arrived.

Victor Oko Jumbo, a factional speaker, has emerged, throwing the state assembly into disarray.

However, Emeka Amadi, the clerk of the Rivers State House of Assembly, rejected the Assembly faction led by Fubara.

Amadi urged that Martin Amaewhule continue to serve as Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

This comes after Fubara and Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), clashed off over the state’s political system.

Fubara made an unexpected visit to the facility on Thursday, stating that he was there to gain access after a new speaker emerged.

“Is the Assembly quarters not part of my property? Is there anything wrong in going to check how things are going on there?

“You are aware of the developments. We have a new speaker, and I went there to see for myself how things are. There might be a few things I might want to do there for the good of our people,” the governor said.
