The Nigeria Police Force, the Dragon Squad, and representatives of the Department of State Services have stormed the Cross River State Assembly complex.

This came following the impeachment of Assembly Speaker Elvert Anyambem, which resulted in an uproar in the House.

Ayambem, who represents Ikom 2 State Constituency in the Assembly, was impeached on Wednesday, May 22, by 17 members of the House over allegations of misappropriation of funds.

Members of the Assembly had complained about the speaker’s behavior and the way the Assembly was run.

After impeaching him, the mace was taken away by the members.
