The Ekiti State House of Assembly has recently been shut and taken over by security personnel of the Nigeria Police. The decision to close the assembly was grounded on a rumoured planned attack by some unknown thugs.

Okay.ng reported that policemen were stationed at different locations in the House to prevent the rumoured planned attack.

According to the further reports, Staffers of the Assembly were this morning seen leaving their offices to their respective house.

Some of the workers, who responded under condition of anonymity said that there was an order from the State Police Headquarters that workers should leave the assembly. They said they were told that some thugs were planning to attack the House of Assembly.

However, the newly-elected Speaker of the Assembly, Gboyega Aribisogan, during a telephone chat with newsmen, explained that there was no crisis in the assembly.

He noted that, “the leadership of the police command in Ekiti told us this morning that they had verifiable intelligence about some hoodlums coming to attack the assembly complex.

“And to avoid a breakdown of law and order, there’s a need for their presence and they have promised to conduct investigation into 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.
