At the ad hoc sitting which lasted for about 40 minutes and presided over by the acting, Speaker Mike Dapialong, some members re-opened the catalog of allegations earlier forwarded by the EFCC to the house on Dariye's alleged financial impropriety, money laundering and false assets declaration to the Code of Conduct Bureau among other charges.

Nanshak Nandon who sponsored the motion for the impeachment cited the alledged arrest of the governor by the London Metropolitan Police, his jumping bail, non declaration of some landed properties at various locations in Abuja, his diversion of the states 2001 ecological fund among others as offences which amounted to corruption and abuse of public office in contravention of section 188 of the constitution.

The new majority leader, Nanchong Napchat, read the impeachment notice and called on the House to forward this to the Chief Judge Justice Lazarus Dakyen to investigate the governor痴 alleged misdeeds.

But the impeachment script failed when two members of the house, Peter Azi representing Jos North East and Pam Dungs representing Jos South constituencies vehemently objected to the motions to impeach boththe governor and the Speaker currently in detention by the EFCC in Lagos. But they were over-ruled by the presiding Speaker Mike Dapialong representing Quan`pan constituency. This resulted in their staging a walk out leaving only five members to adopt the motion for impeachment. The presiding Speaker however announced that the notice of impeachment would be duly served on the governor who is expected to appear before the House to defend himself against the 5- point charge.

Prior to the plenary sessions, the members were driven into the assembly premises by truck loads of heavily armed anti-riot mobile policemen. They had also cordoned off the entire premises preventing traffic flow along the old Bukuru Road.

But the policemen had a hectic time trying to control the crowd of women demonstrating against the sitting which they described as stage-managed. The women who were barebreatedd braved the teargas and persistent gun shots and scaled the fence in the Assembly premises thus cutting short the sitting and heightening tension in Jos and environs.

At the end of the sitting both the five members and two abstaining members were driven out the premises in about nine police jeeps amid another round of gunshots and teargas and more protest by the women who pelted them with stones.

Meanwhile the state publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),Mr Nuhu Gagara welcomed the new development saying the legislators have just demonstrated and performed the duties expected of them. On his part, the spokesman for the government and commissioner of information, Mr. Yakubu Datti, described the sitting as null and void since no quorum was formed by the House during its sitting.
