The Imo State House of Assembly on Tuesday impeached its Deputy Speaker, Amarachi Iwuanyanwu (APC-Nwangele).
This followed a resolution of the House at plenary, which was presided over by Speaker Paul Emeziem (APC-Onuimo).
Emeziem announced the impeachment of Iwuanyanwu, but failed to state why he was removed.
The House also adopted a resolution recalling six lawmakers that were suspended on July 8 for unparliamentary conduct.
This followed the adoption of the report of its ad hoc committee set up to investigate the allegations at the committee of the whole house.
The lawmakers were Dominic Ezerioha (APC-Oru West), Uche Ogbuagu (APC-Ikeduru), Philip Ejiogu (PDP-Owerri North), Anyadike Nwosu (PDP-Ezinihitte), Kennedy Ibeh (APC-Obowo) and Michael Njoku (APC-Ihitte Uboma).
The speaker commended members of the House who deemed it necessary to bring back the suspended lawmakers.
Emeziem also commended the suspended lawmakers for remaining law abiding throughout the period of their suspension.
He urged them to remember that the house was an institution of authority that would remain for generations to come.
He further commended Governor Hope Uzodinma for being helpful in achieving the desired reconciliation.
