TheNation reports that there is heavy shooting at the Bayelsa House of Assembly following the refusal of Speaker Emmanuel Isenah to relinquish his position.
It was gathered that while the House was sitting, Iseanah adjourned the plenary indefinitely in a tactical manoeuvre to foil his removal.
But thugs were said to have immediately stormed the House, shooting sporadically and made away with the mace.
But leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) mounting pressure on the speaker to resign were said to have compelled lawmakers loyal to them to reconvene and impeach the speaker.
