Okiye 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.
A section of the women, who claimed to be spiritualists, laid curses at the Assembly gate.
They condemned the reported impeachment of Okiye by the 17 lawmakers.
