Gunmen Invade Imo State House Of Assembly Shooting Sporadically

There was pandemonium at the Imo state House of Assembly yesterday as gunmen invaded the complex shooting sporadically following the suspension of six lawmakers by the Speaker, PAUL EMEZIEM.

He said they were suspended over alleged unparliamentary conduct.

Four lawmakers of the All Progressives Congress and two from the Peoples Democratic Party were affected by the sanction.

Among those suspended include former leader of the House, UCHE OGBUAGWU, member representing Obowo state constituency, KENNEDY IBE and a member representing Oru west DOMINIC IZERUOHA.

The House also removed the Chief Whip, ARTHUR EGWIM, and replaced him with OBINNA OKWARA.

But ARTHUR EGWIM described the action as illegal.

Reacting on the development, Constitutional lawyer, FRED NZEAKO described the invasion as desecration of the hallow chamber.

He however noted that this has become a trend since those who invaded the National Assembly in the past have not been sanctioned.
