Rivers State House of Assembly has been demolished following the fire incident that engulfed a section of it two months ago.
The demolition of the complex was carried out by the state government on Wednesday.
Bulldozers arrived at the complex around 6am and commenced the demolition exercise.
While the demolition was ongoing, Governor Siminalayi Fubara presented the N800 billion 2024 budget estimates to the Edison Ehie-led group of five lawmakers at the Government House.
This comes after a court on Tuesday recognised Ehie as the Speaker of the House and restrained Martins Amaewhule from parading himself as the speaker.

The presentation of the budget was held at a hall in the Government House.
On Monday, 27 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to former governor Nyesom Wike defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The crisis in the 32-member Assembly began as a result of a rift between Fubara and Wike.
In October, the Assembly under Amaewhule served an impeachment notice on Fubara and removed Ehie as the House leader. However, some members of the assembly loyal to Fubara immediately impeached Amaewhule and made Ehie the new speaker.
