Members of the Edo State House of Assembly on Monday, were engaged in physical combat in a bid to enforce the suspension of four of their colleagues as well as forcefully removing the speaker from his seat and install another speaker.

Shortly after the incidence, the speaker, Justin Okonoboh, was reportedly impeached, and a viral video was released online showing how the lawmakers of the state were engaging in a free for all fight.
