There is tension in Benue State, as Samuel Ortom has been impeached by eight Benue APC Lawmakers today.

Eight lawmakers of the Benue state House of Assembly under the All Progressives Congress, APC, have served impeachment notice to the Governor of the state, Samuel Ortom.

The lawmakers who sat in the state’s Assembly complex on Monday, 30th July, 2018 gained access to the state assembly complex while the police barricaded further access to the house, Ortom’s aide has confirmed.

According to Ortom’s spokesman, Tahav Agerzua, the lawmakers took over the Assembly complex to sit and pass the impeachment notice while the police blocked further access.

Meanwhile, a detachment of heavily armed policemen have currently shutdown the Benue State House of Assembly.

The policemen blocked the entrance to the Assembly complex, denying workers access. Meanwhile, youths from Benue state have, in the early hours of Monday, as at 5:am, trooped en masse to block the Benue Assembly complex over what they claimed was plots by some politicians loyal to the All Progressives Congress, APC, led Federal government to impeach Governor Samuel Ortom who has dumped the party for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Reports not yet very clear claim the security personnel are currently in a clash with the Benue youths over the alleged invasion of State’s Assembly complex as well as the planned plot to impeach the Governor. Reports also claim the police team is firing tear gas to disperse the youths.

Recall that Governor Ortom had given reasons as to why he dumped the APC to include that his people, the Benue state youths, had forced him to leave the party of cease to be their governor.

9ja with drama just to keep us busy till election

Buhari and his gang of political robbers have lost every shred of sensibility. A coupist will always remain a coupist. Anti-social pervert. #1 enemy of the state and the people.

You will soon meet your waterloo. #Continue.

Impeached or served him an impeachment notice?

What sort of journalism is this?

It is APC tactics to prevent other governors from defecting, they are just grandstanding, they know the lawlessness can't stand but they are scared of tsunami defection and the need to contain it ,its a knee jerk approach

They can't try this in the Niger Delta... Rubbish!

APC is a party filled with cowards...

When has serving impeachment notice become equal to impeachment itself? Fake news.

The so called 8 have been suspended..Buhari is only making things worse for himself

Compliant:
NOT CONFIRMED YET

just checked ChannelsTV, he has been served.

The intellectually myopic nairalanders will blame Buhari like he was the one that served Ortom. Pls go and read the DSS report on Benue an it's Governors, present and past, the DSS is not Sars or the Nigerian Police force, they carry out extensive investigations,

Buhari and his broom wielding demonic party are only multiplying their losses. Removing Ortom from office will only make matters worse for the clueless one and his useless Apc party.

If Buhari his and APC government likes they should impeached all the decamped members, it wont stop Nigerians from doing what is right in the forth coming elections in 2019, by not voting him and his colleagues.

I hope this is not true otherwise APC has lost it its true.

Nothing like that people.Even with serving the impeachment notice they need to allow Gov.Ortom the time to respond.

I am tired of this poo called "new media journalism".

Nigeria's massively unaware populace is deliberately getting even more deformed in the hands of these band of voodoo overnight journalists.

I wonder if this is the kind of democracy that was first conceived by the ancestors of ancient Greek? Is this the version of democracy America is forcing the modern world to adopt?

I'm lost!
