Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Abok Ayuba has been controversially impeached by a minority of PLHA members.
Ayuba was impeached Thursday morning by eight lawmakers from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The impeachment proceeding was presided by the Deputy Speaker Saleh Yipmong.
21st CENTURY CHRONICLE gathered that eight lawmakers gained access to the assembly complex as early as 6am to carry out the impeachment process, while operating under the heavy presence of security agents.
Members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were reportedly prevented from entering the assembly complex.
Ayuba was accused of corruption, abuse of office, financial misappropriation, among other allegations, by a group under the aegis of Youths Rights Against Corruption (YRAC).
The group had said it submitted a petition against Ayuba to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
