Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Nuhu Abok, has been impeached by eight members of the legislative arm of the government.
Yakubu Sanda, representing Pengana Constituency, was named as the new Speaker.
Abok was removed in the early hours of Thursday by the lawmakers from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) who were allegedly escorted into the chambers amidst tight security.
Members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were, however, prevented from gaining access to the Assembly complex.
Meanwhile, the House of Assembly premises and adjoining roads have been taken over by security personnel.
The move, was reportedly meant to prevent a breakdown of law and order.
