JUST IN: Rivers commences demolition of assembly complex, pro-Fubara lawmakers meet

The political crisis in Rivers State deepened on Wednesday as about 10 bulldozers entered the grounds of the State House of Assembly and initiated the demolition of the complex.

This occurred as factional Speaker Edison Ehie, along with other lawmakers aligned with the governor, conducted an early Wednesday session before the commencement of the demolition.

The demolition is taking place under heightened security.
