Just In: Rivers Gov’t Begins Demolition Of Assembly Building

The State House of Assembly building on Moscow Road in the Port Harcourt City Local Government Area is being demolished by the Rivers State Government in order to make room for restoration.

The state government was carrying out the project, according to a government source.

This comes a few weeks after unknown political goons set fire to the state assembly’s sacred chambers.

Recall that the attempt to remove the current governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, by certain parliamentarians sparked a major crisis in the state’s legislative arm.

On Wednesday, however, more than ten bulldozers, excavators, and other large machinery were transported to the assembly site as early as five in the morning.

The demolition started about 7:30 a.m. and is still in progress as of the time this report was written.

Details to follow.
