The clarification followed claims that police officers have taken over the assembly quarters, amid the ongoing leadership tussle in the assembly.
reported that men of the Nigeria Police Force on Friday took over the entrance and exit of the Rivers State House of Assembly complex. Over 30 policemen had besieged the first and second gates to the lawmakers’ estate, while about 25 patrol vans were used to block the other two entrances. The development came shortly after the embattled Speaker of the House, Martins Amaewhule, accused Governor Sim Fubara of planning to demolish the legislative quarters.
