Operatives of the Department of the State Services, the Dragon Squad, and personnel of the Nigeria Police Force have taken over the complex of the Cross River State Assembly.
The sealing of the complex followed Wednesday’s impeachment of the Assembly speaker, Elvert Anyambem.
Ayambem was impeached over alleged gross misconduct and financial misappropriation.
Over 20 members had signed up for his impeachment, and the motion for his removal was moved on the floor of the House on Wednesday by the member representing Calabar South 1, Effiong Ekarika, and seconded by Charles Omang.
After he was impeached, the mace was taken away by the members.
