A fire erupted at the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex around 10 p.m. on Sunday. Security agents from the nearby Rivers Police Command swiftly took control of the premises, and a fire truck was deployed to the scene. The cause of the fire remains unknown at this time.
The incident occurred against a backdrop of swirling rumors regarding a potential impeachment procedure against the state's Governor, Sim Fubara. Members of the House have refrained from commenting on these speculations, maintaining a tight-lipped stance.
While it remains uncertain whether the fire is linked to the ongoing political tensions, reports of a growing discord between Governor Fubara and his predecessor, Nyesom Wike, now serving as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) minister, have been circulating for some time.
The situation at the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex is currently under investigation, as authorities work to determine the cause of the fire and its potential connection to the political unrest in the region
