Fight erupts on the floor of the House of Assembly as members of the Cross River State House of Assembly today engaged in a free-for-all following the impeachment of the Speaker, Elvert Ayambem.
The House turned chaotic as the sitting rounded up, with members fighting over the mace.
The fisticuffs ended the sitting which saw 17 members out of 25 impeach Ayambem on allegation of financial misappropriation.
The impeachment motion was reportedly moved by Hon. Effiom Ekarika representing Calabar South 1 Constituency and seconded by Hon. Omang Charles Omang representing Bekwarra State Constituency.
