However, some Plateau youths had besieged the State House of Assembly complex with corpses of the Yelwa Zangam community to registered their displeasure over how the attacks have spreads to many communities.

They youths told the Speaker of the House, Hon. Ayuba Abok to commenced the impeachment process against the Governor.
