Rivers State House of Assembly Complex located at Moscow Road, Port Harcourt is currently under demolition.
It was learnt that the demolition began just as the factional Speaker, Edison Ehie, led other lawmakers loyal to the state governor to hold a sitting at the complex.
Over 10 bulldozers and other heavy-duty equipment were rolled out for the demolition of the House of Assembly complex as early as 5 a.m. on Wednesday.
Sources in the state claimed that the demolition of the Assembly Complex was being undertaken by the state government. The demolition is being done under tight security.
Meanwhile, the factional Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Edison Ehie, has revealed why the assembly complex was demolished on Wednesday morning.
Ehie was quoted saying during the session that the complex was due for repairs following the explosion that rocked the building on October 30, 2023, saying the governor would provide an alternative place for them to sit in the meantime.
