The chamber of Rivers State House of Assembly has been set ablaze.
The development comes amid rumour of the plan to impeach Governor Similanayi Fubara.
Sources said the arsonist gained entry into the chamber around 9;30pm on Sunday night and set it ablaze.
Our reporter further learnt that the quick intervention of the men of fire service stopped the fire from spreading to the entire Assembly complex.
Efforts made to speak with the Rivers State Police Command Public Relation Officer, SP Grace Iringe Koko proved abortive at the time of filing this report.
Meanwhile, over 17 security trucks and four Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC), have been stationed at the facility with over 50 Federal Security personnel mobilized at the complex.
