How Imo Speaker was impeached

The Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Paul Emeziem, was yesterday  impeached by 19 out of 27 lawmakers of  the State House of Assembly.

The incident which happened at an emergency meeting on the floor of the House was presided over by the Deputy Speaker, Amara Iwuayanwu. The resolution for the impeachment of the Speaker was submitted by the member representing Oru East State Constituency, Chigozie Nwaneri.

However, it was a drama when the impeached Speaker, Emeziem  arrived the premises of the state House of Assembly, at 09:50am and was not allowed into the premises. He was with only two other lawmakers: the member representing Aboh Mbaise State constituency, Eddy Obinna and the member representing Ahiazu Mbaise State Constituency, Sam Otuibe. All efforts by them to gain entry  into the House were rebuffed by the security agents stationed in the area.
