The speaker was impeached by 20 out of the 30 members of the House who voted in what appeared to be an emergency seating today, Thursday morning.
Isah Idris’ impeachment is coming barely a few days after the mace was destroyed by the lawmakers who engaged in a fight over leadership.
The House was thrown into a rowdy session on Tuesday this week following a motion moved on the amendment of the standing rule of the State Assembly.
A member representing Yankwashi constituency, Alkasim Karkarna, was said to have been responsible for the destruction of the mace.
Details later.
