Embattled Rivers State Governor, Similanyi Fubara allegedly claimed Security agents shot at him this morning, accusing them of compromise in the impeachment saga.
Reports from the State said the State is embroiled in heated political supremacy as members of the State Assembly began the process of impeaching the governor.
As at in morning there were gun shots and teargas at the premises of the Assembly where the impeachment process was ongoing.
The Town Hall Media gathered that the first casualty on the firing line was the Majority Leader of the Assembly, Edie Edison who was removed by his colleagues as a build up to impeach the governor, who is said to be their target with outside interests overshadowing their plotting.
The governor while hurriedly addressing his supporters, looking rattled said, “From what I have seen the security agency is even compromised. They were shooting at me directly but it doesn’t matter, somebody will die one day.
“When people here ask who is this Fubara? He is that man that was killed for his struggle. I am not against anybody. I am not planning anything against anybody that I don’t know where these things are coming from.
“Let it be put on record that whoever masterminded this is trying to shift… I heard some people gathered to do whatever (impeachment). That is purely rubbish. You can’t sit when there is problem and say you are doing anything. What are you doing?
“I am the chief security officer. I’m the head of the government… whatever action that is taken here is null and void. For our good people, I know you are prayerful. You have been praying for me. God will see us to the end”, he added.
Meanwhile, a group of youths have taken to the streets protesting the impeachment plot.
