Sequel to the impeachment of the Assembly Speaker, officials of the Department of the State Services, the Dragon Squad, and personnel of the Nigeria Police Force have reportedly taken over the complex of the Cross River State Assembly.
Eagle Online reported earlier that the Assembly speaker, Elvert Anyambem, was impeached in the early hours of Wednesday by his colleagues over alleged gross misconduct and administrative high handedness.
It was learnt that the plot to remove Anyambem had been on for months as members had been expressing misgivings at his conduct and modus operandi.
