According to a source who disclosed the development to newsmen a few moments ago, all workers at the legislative complex were forced to run for their 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,” said the source who pleaded to remain anonymous.

He added, “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.
