After news filtered in this morning that lawmakers in Enugu state today began impeachment proceedings against the state governor, Sullivan Chime.

The tide seem to have been turned as the crisis currently rocking the Enugu State House of Assembly has claimed its first casualty with the impeachment of the Speaker, Hon. Eugene Odoh.

Daily Sun reports that Odo was the head of a 15-member faction of the Enugu State House of Assembly, which commenced the impeachment process against Gov. Sullivan Chime over accusations of alleged financial misconduct.

According to The Nation, Odo was accused of promoting acts that have brought the House to ridicule.
