Operatives of the Ekiti Police Command on Wednesday took over the premises of the Ekiti State House of Assembly.
Daily Report Nigeria reports that the security operatives were stationed at strategic locations in a bid to prevent a purported invasion by lawbreakers.
The shutting down of the Ekiti House of Assembly was in line with an alleged plan by some hoodlums to attack the complex.
However, the reason for the purported invasion could not be ascertained as of press time.
confirming the development, Gboyega Aribisogan, the newly elected Speaker of the Assembly, said;
“The leadership of the police command in Ekiti informed us this morning that they had verifiable intelligence about some hoodlums coming to attack the assembly complex and to avoid breakdown of law and order, hence the need for their presence and they have promised us to conduct an investigation on the matter and report to us before the close of work today.
“I want to encourage my colleagues and staff of the assembly to be patient and bear with us, normalcy will soon return to the house,” Aribisogan said.
