Police seal off Nasarawa House of Assembly complex
The police have sealed off the Nasarawa House of Assembly complex to avert a breakdown of law and order following the emergence of two speakers for the seventh assembly.
The police spokesman in Nasarawa, DSP Ramhan Nansel, said this on Wednesday in a statement, disclosing that police commissioner Maiyaki Mohammed-Baba.
The commissioner gave the directive after consultation with other security agencies in the state.
Nasarawa lawmakers-elect on Tuesday reportedly held two parallel proceedings resulting in the emergence of two different speakers for the assembly.
There was a heavy detachment of security forces at the complex on Wednesday.
