Benue House of Assembly Speaker Terkimbi Ikyange, impeached and then suspended by 19 members at Government House

Members of the Benue House of Assembly were caught in several dramas Friday, with some jumping the high perimeter fence surrounding the Assembly complex and some of them later shifting their parliamentary session to the old Banquet Hall of the Government House, where they decided to suspend the impeached Speaker.

A Correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that both the impeached speaker, Terkimbi Ikyange (APC Ushongo)and his successor, Titus Ubah, (APC Kyaan) were at the premises, both laying claim to the speakership.

NAN reports that supporters of both groups forced their way into the assembly complex jumping its high walls.

Both groups were, however, prevented from gaining entrance into the main lobby of the Assembly complex to hold their session.
