A source at the Assembly, who confirmed the situation to our correspondent, said workers at the legislative complex were currently scampering for safety.
“We woke up to see policemen in our complex this morning manning strategic positions. I overheard one of them saying they were asked by the Commissioner of Police to stay here.
“There has been plans to impeach the deputy governor since he defected to the PDP on Sunday and the presence of the policemen is to provide cover for some of the lawmakers loyal to the governor to carry out the job.
“I have found my way out of the complex while other workers are running away in order not to be affected.”
