Martins Amaewhule, the Speaker of a faction of the House of Assembly in Rivers State has launched a separate probe into the October 7th violent attacks and destruction of some local government areas' secretariats in the state. The move is seen as a direct challenge to Governor Siminalayi Fubara, who had earlier set up a seven-member Judicial Commission of Inquiry to investigate the same incident.
The Amaewhule-led House of Assembly has called on the House Committee on Public Complaints and Petitions to expedite action in submitting reports on the various petitions referred to the Committee. Amaewhule particularly asked the committee to submit the report of its investigations on the disturbances witnessed in the state on the 7th of October, 2024, which affected some local government council secretariats.
