The police in Edo have taken over the house of assembly
complex in the state.
Ayoola Ajala, deputy commissioner of police, led a
detachment of officers to the assembly on Thursday.
Officials of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps
(NSCDC) were also deployed in the complex.
The police took the action to forestall
any attack on assembly.
The development is coming hours after Yekini Idiaye, deputy
speaker of the Edo state house of assembly, was impeached.
Idiaye alongside four other lawmakers had endorsed Osagie
Ize-Iyamu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the
state.
The former deputy speaker had said the administration of
Godwin Obaseki, Edo governor, did nothing in his village.
“I am from Somorika, in Akoko Edo local government area and
my village is the most backward in Akoko Edo,” Idiaye had said when he led his
colleagues to the Benin residence of Ize-Iyamu on Monday.
