There was tension in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, on Wednesday as the embattled 19 All Progressives Congress lawmakers stormed the House of Assembly to resume legislative duties.
Their return caught workers and the seven Peoples Democratic Party lawmakers loyal to Governor Ayodele Fayose unawares and created tension as officials of the Assembly hurriedly vacated their offices.
The return of the lawmakers followed Tuesday’s directive by the state’s secretariat of the APC asking them to resume legislative duties.
But over 100 soldiers and police operatives promptly took over the Assembly to maintain peace while the Commissioner of Police, Taiwo Lakanu, ordered an immediate closure of the office complex.
