On Thursday 8th July 2021, Unknown Gunmen stormed the premises of the Imo state house of Assembly shooting sporadically.
Anaedoonline.ng gathered that the attack came shortly after the suspension of 6 house members by the leadership of the assembly.
The speaker of the assembly, Paul Emeziem, alongside other members of the House narrowly escaped being shot by the gunmen who stormed the house during plenary. The suspended lawmakers were accused of engaging in ‘unparliamentary activities’.
However, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state has sued for peace following the suspension of six House of Assembly members in the state. Mr. Cajetan Duke, Publicity Secretary of the APC in Imo made the call in an interview with newsmen in Owerri on Thursday while reacting to the suspension.

Duke described the Assembly as “an independent organ of government”. He called on the suspended lawmakers to desist from acts capable of jeopardizing their public image and the legislative House.
He noted that as law-abiding persons, the party would not only respect the independence of the Assembly but also align with any decisions taken by its leadership.
