Police have taken
over the Edo State House of Assembly complex in Benin City, the state capital.
This is coming few
hours after the Deputy Speaker, Hon. Yekini Idiaye, was impeached by the state
lawmakers.
Idiaye was impeached
on Wednesday during plenary.
He was accused of
collecting N40m from a former National Chairman of the All Progressive
Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, to support the party’s candidate Osagie Ize-Iyamu
in the September 19 election.
Dozens of the
security officials stormed the complex on Thursday morning while patrol
vehicles were stationed there.
It was gathered that
the police took the action following a reported threat of an attack on the
facility.
The police officers
were led to the Assembly by a Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations),
Ayoola Ajala.
