Yes, it's true. The Speaker of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly, Konbowei Benson, was impeached on January 31, 2020. The impeachment was carried out by a majority of the members of the House, who voted in favor of the motion to remove him from office.

According to reports, the impeachment was sparked by allegations of gross misconduct, abuse of office, and financial impropriety against Benson. The lawmakers claimed that he had failed to provide adequate leadership and had engaged in activities that were detrimental to the interests of the state and its people.

The impeachment process was initiated by a group of lawmakers who accused Benson of mismanaging the state's resources, including the allocation of funds meant for the development of the state. They also alleged that he had failed to provide adequate representation for the state in the National Assembly.

After the impeachment, a new Speaker was elected to replace Benson. The new Speaker, Abraham Ingobere, was sworn in immediately after the impeachment.
