The Rivers State House of Assembly was on Sunday night set ablaze over the alleged move to impeach the State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
It was gathered that some suspected arsonists threw an explosive into the complex around 9:25pm, causing a fire in the building.
The PUNCH had earlier reported that there were gunshots and firing of teargas within the Assembly Complex on Monday as some lawmakers sat to begin an impeachment process on Fubara.
