Bayelsa State House of Assembly Speaker, Mr. Tonye Isenah, has been impeached.
This was followed by an invasion of thugs who approached the premises of the House with gunshots.
The violence erupted due to pressure mounted on Isenah to resign his position.
This came from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, ahead of the November 16th governorship election in Bayelsa State.
Hon. Obolo Bubou has now been elected as the new Speaker of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly.
