The police has sealed off Nasarawa State House of Assembly Complex to avert a breakdown of law and order following the emergence of two speakers for the seventh assembly.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, DSP Ramhan Nansel, said this on Wednesday in a statement in Lafia.
Nansel said that the action was due to a directive by the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Maiyaki Mohammed-Baba.
He said that the commissioner gave the directive after consultation with other security agencies in the state.
It was gathered that the members-elect on Tuesday, June 6 held two parallel proceedings resulting in the emergence of two different speakers for the assembly.
An unusual heavy security presence was noticed at the complex on Wednesday.
