There was palpable tension at the Plateau State House of Assembly Complex in the early hours of Monday 1st November as thugs gained access through the officials-only alternative entrance of the House of Assembly Complex to wreck havoc and attempt to remove members who were already sitted in the house.
Security personnel were reportedly taken unawares when unknown persons made their way through the back of the house to stop the embattled speaker and some members of the House from going ahead with any proceedings leading to a clash with youths who were protesting outside the complex. This action led to huge damages on the doors and windows of the complex before security personnel were able to restore order.
Soon afterwards, the security agencies moved in to complex and restored order as they ordered everyone out of the complex, they also tear gassed persons who resisted.
All roads leading to the Plateau State House of Assembly have been barricaded by youths bearing various placards protesting in support of the embattled speaker Nuhu Abok Ayuba who was impeached last week.
Reports revealed in an amature video have revealed that the embattled Speaker, Rt Hon Nuhu Abok Ayub sat with other members of the Plateau State House of Assembly and made a video calling for restoration of a legal process and proceedings in the house and advocated for the intervention of democratic stakeholders.
In the short video being circulated, the embattled Speaker, Abok Nuhu Ayuba and and 11 others were seen appealing to all speakers of various house of Assembly in Nigeria, Governor’s Forum snd the President to intervene and restore justice to office the Plateau Speaker and House of Assembly in Plateau State.
