Benue Lawmakers Exchange Blows [Photo & Video]

Benue Lawmakers took to fight, exchanging blows

Lawmakers belonging to the All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party were locked in a brawl at the Benue State House of Assembly, north-central Nigeria, on Tuesday following a letter addressed to the Speaker by members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to appoint majority leader for the Assembly.

See the video below;

Channel TV News reported that the free for all fight at the plenary started when the Speaker, Mr Terkimbi Kyange, read the APC’s letter in which it claimed majority after a lawmaker of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) defected into its fold, which gave it a marginal lead over the PDP. The APC and PDP were split 15-17 in the House.
