Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force on Thursday unlocked the office of the impeached Deputy Governor of Imo State, Eze Madumere.
Recall that the office was locked on Wednesday, few hours after the state assembly lawmakers impeached the deputy governor.
This is to forestall the breakdown of law and order in the state.
A journalist attached to the office of the impeached deputy governor, Iheanyi Enwerem, confirmed that the office had been unlocked.
According to him, some policemen locked it on Wednesday, but they unlocked it on Thursday.
He said the impeached Deputy Governor had not visited his office since the state lawmakers purportedly removed him from office despite a court order.
Madumere had, through his media aide, on Wednesday insisted that he was still the deputy governor of the state.
Madumere argued that there was no proof from point of law to ascertain that he had been impeached.
He said his removal from office hours after an Owerri High Court presided over by Justice Benjamin Iheaka gave an order stopping further proceedings on his impeachment until the matter was determined by court was not known by law.
