Moment Police Fired Teargas, Water Cannon At Protesters Inside Rivers Assembly Complex (Video)

Police operatives, on Monday, fired gunshots and tear gas on the premises of the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex as lawmakers commenced the process of impeachment of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.

It was learned that the security personnel used tear gas and water cannons to disperse some protesters after the governor stormed the complex to prevent his impeachment.
