JUST IN: Plateau Assembly Crisis: Police Seals Parliamentary Complex

The Plateau state police command has sealed the House of Assembly complex.

This is as a result of the ongoing speakership crisis.

A team of anti-riot policemen arrived at the assembly complex by 5 am and barricaded the main entrance.

The stern-looking Police and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and other security personnel didn’t only man the gates but the surroundings as well.

The road linking the Terminus Market from the Plateau Specialist Hospital through the assembly complex was blocked from traffic.

The Plateau Police Spokesperson, DSP Alfred Alabo, said that the move was to forestall any breakdown of law of order around the assembly.
