attempt to remove the Speaker of Kogi State House of Assembly, Alhaji Momoh Jimoh Lawal, turned the chamber into a theatre with two members laying claim to the office. Earlier, in a press conference, some members of the Assembly indicated that the Speaker
had been impeached along with two other principal officers, the Deputy Speaker and the Minority leader.
