FLASH: Tension As Police Teargas, Prevent 16 Sacked Plateau PDP Lawmakers, From Accessing Building

The 16 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members of the Plateau State House of Assembly who were sacked by the Court of Appeal were on Tuesday teargassed by armed policemen after arriving at the Assembly complex.

The lawmakers had arrived at the Rayfield Old Government House in Jos on Tuesday morning alongside their supporters preparatory to their resumption of plenary when the incident happened.

Osun Defender had reported that the sacked lawmakers vowed to resume sitting today (Tuesday), noting that they were the authentic members of the State Assembly voted into office by the people of the State.

Led by the member from the Bokkos State Constituency, Ishaku Maren, the lawmaker while addressing journalists on Monday in Jos, said, the judgment of the Supreme Court which reinstated Governor Caleb Mutfwang has explained that they were unjustly removed from office hence, the remedy for the wrong done to them is for them to be allowed to return to duty.

The medium gathered that the policemen and other security operatives took over the premises of the Government House and prevented the sacked lawmakers from going into the chambers of the House of Assembly but the lawmakers had vowed not to vacate the premises.
