The Deputy Speaker of Imo State House Assembly, Hon. Amarachi Iwuanyanwu has been Impeached.
9news Nigeria gathered that the deputy speaker was removed under a tight security during a plenary on Tuesday afternoon in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
Ekene Nnodim, who represents Orlu State Constituency, submitted a resolution signed by 18 out of the 27 lawmakers for the removal of Iwuanyanwu as the Deputy Speaker.
Speaker Paul Emezim, who presided over the plenary, okayed the impeachment of Iwuanyanwu without reading the content of the resolution.
The Assembly also recalled six suspended lawmakers.
The Speaker had controversially suspended the lawmakers over what he tagged as “unparliamentary conduct”.
