The women who said they were in solidarity with the embattled Speaker of the House, Mr Frank Okiye who was reportedly impeached on Thursday by 17 out of the 24 lawmakers at a private residence in Benin, and in his stead, a new Speaker, Mr Victor Edoror, was elected.

They condemned the impeachment of Okiye and laid curses at the Assembly gate as a section of them claimed to be spiritualists.
