The premises of Edo State House of Assembly was on Thursday morning besieged by security officers from the Nigeria Police force.
Rumour had it that the other elected house members who are on the side of the All Progressive Congress, APC, loyal to the former party chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole had perfected plans for sitting at the Assembly complex, which is currently under renovation.
Police operatives have taken over Edo House of Assembly complex in Benin City. Dozens of the security officials stormed the complex while patrol vehicles were stationed around the area.
This comes a day after members of the House impeached the Deputy Speaker of the House, Yekini Idiaye. His impeachment came days after he declared his support for the APC governorship candidate, Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
According to reports, the move was to forestall an alleged planned attack on the facility.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations), Ayoola Ajala, led the operation, which is ongoing.
