The incident took place at the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex on Monday.
This followed the visit to the complex by Fubara following a fire outbreak at the Assembly on Sunday night.
According to Fubara, he does not mind losing his life over the move to impeach him by the House, but burning the Assembly complex was not acceptable.
Speaking with newsmen, he said it was a sad development that nine years after the state overcame such political fracas, it was now rearing its head again.
