The police has sealed off the Nasarawa House of Assembly Complex, to avert a breakdown of law and order following the emergence of two speakers for the seventh assembly.
DSP Ramhan Nansel, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) said in a statement in Lafia.
Nansel said that the action was due to a directive by the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Maiyaki Mohammed-Baba.
He said that the commissioner gave the directive after consultation with other security agencies in the state.
The members-elect on Tuesday, June 6 held two parallel proceedings resulting in the emergence of two different speakers for the assembly.
An unusually heavy security presence was noticed at the complex on Thursday morning.
