The crisis rocking the Ekiti State House of Assembly continued on Wednesday when 16 out of the 19 All Progressives Congress (APC) members arrived to hold a parliamentary session only to see the complex sealed off.
The Ekiti State Commissioner of Police, Mr Taiwo Lakanu, ordered the sealing off of the complex. The police were backed by a detachment of soldiers.
The two factional Speakers, Adewale Omirin and Dele Olugbemi, avoided each other.
However, the ‘sitting’ by the APC lawmakers lasted about 20 minutes before they were dispersed with teargas.
Omirin said they had only come to the Assembly to perform their legislative functions.
