TVC E, POLITICS – The Kogi State command of the Nigeria Police on Wednesday sealed off the Kogi state House of Assembly following the directive by the National Assembly.
According to eyewitness, the development took the workers of the state assembly by surprise apparently because of initial inaction of the police to effect the Senate order for Inspector General to shut the assemble over the lingering crisis that has grounded legislative work in the state.
Meanwhile, an assembly worker who spoke under the condition of anonymity confirmed the development to TVC NEWS, saying, “They (the police) came sometime after 10 o’clock this morning (Wednesday)”.
But another source debunked the shutting of the assembly by the police, saying that the issue was “resolved”.
The source who pleaded anonymity said workers were in their offices as at the time the Police came.
The source, a lady, however added that lawmakers were yet to be allowed into the assembly complex”.
The House of Representatives which instituted a fact finding committee to look into the Kogi assembly crisis has since taken over its activities, followed by the Senate, which endorsed the close order.
