The police Wednesday morning sealed off the Kogi
State House of Assembly (KSHA).
The development which took the workers of the state
assembly by surprise apparently because of initial
inaction of the police to effect the Senate order for
Inspector General to shut the assemble over the
lingering crisis that has grounded legislative work in
the state.
An assembly worker who spoke under the condition
of anonymity confirmed the development to our
correspondent, saying, “They (the police) came
sometime after 10 o’clock this morning (Wednesday)”.
Another source however debunked the shutting of the
assembly by the police, saying that the issue was
“resolved”.
The source who pleaded anonymity said workers were
in their offices as at the time the Police came.
“Yes, they have resolved it. The police came but they
spoke over the matter and the issue was resolved,”
the source said.
The source, a lady, however added that lawmakers
were yet to be allowed into the assembly complex”.
The House of Representatives which instituted a fact
finding committee to look into the Kogi assembly
crisis has since taken over its activities, followed by
the Senate, which endorsed the close order.
The police has since the order looked the other way
while the Umar Imam-led faction (G-5) of the
assembly continued sitting, until around 10am
Wednesday morning, when people were ordered out
of the complex, while the Momoh Jimoh-Lawal faction
otherwise known as G-15, which took its case before
the National Assembly, have since stated away from
the assembly.
