Sources squealed to us that the aggrieved lawmakers were seen with a mace which could be for the impeachment of the Speaker and suspension of the 21 members of the Assembly. Sources added that they may probably commence proceedings to impeach Governor Udom Emmanuel.

We also gathered that the lawmakers chased everyone out, manhandled Mr. Kufre Okon, the Press Secretary to the Speaker and headed straight to the chambers. All the doors were shut while the aggrieved lawmakers were still inside the chambers for the proceedings.
