Former Majority leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Edison Ehie has emerged the new Speaker of the state Assembly.
In another development, the Chief Judge of Rivers State, Simeon Amadi has been suspended.
The lawmakers also suspended four members including, Goodboy Sokari Goodboy, also representing Ahoada, Adolphus Timothy, representing Opobo/Nkoro, and Victor Oko-Jumbo, representing Bonny.
The House also announced the impeachment process of Governor Siminalayi Fubara over alleged misuse of power and misconduct.
The motion, however, did not go down well with loyalists of Fubara and Ehie, who went on a rampage, forcing the members to leave the Assembly complex.
