However, he was arrested by the police and interrogated.
Recall that five lawmakers loyal to APC, whose seats
were earlier declared vacant, rose on Tuesday, assumed their seats and
started an impeachment process against the state Govermor, Udom
Emmanuel.
The atmosphere however became rowdy when the governor arrived at the assembly complex at Udo Udoma Avenue.
Immediately Gov. Emmanuel entered the premises, gunshots
were fired by those described by eyewitnesses as security operatives
and thugs who were around the premises.
According to the reports, the newly acclaimed speaker,
Mr Nse Ntuen, who had earlier sat with four other lawmakers, was also
harassed by security personnel in the assembly premises.Ntuen’s vehicle was said to have been damaged while he
escaped a mob action by some persons believed to be Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) members.
Trouble started in the house last week when the Speaker,
Onofiok Luke, declared vacant, the seats of the five lawmakers who
defected from the PDP to the All Progressive Congress (APC).
