Some strange security personnel yesterday stormed Plateau State House of Assembly to prevent members from sitting over alleged impeachment plots.
It could be recalled that the House had issued Governor Simon Lalong a two weeks ultimatum to take drastic measures to curtail the prevailing security challenges in the state that has consumed several lives. The House had also ordered Governor Lalong to raised up and defend his people against the security threats that has displaced several people from their ancestral homes.
It was observed that the security, who stormed the Assembly complex in black Land Cruiser Jeep; stationed at the entrance of the House, didn’t prevent personnel working in the House from accessing the complex.
But the House of Assembly complex has remained a ghost, as members of the House and personnel working in the House did not turn out for work that morning.
However, some Plateau youths had besieged the State House of Assembly complex with corpses of the Yelwa Zangam community to registered their displeasure over how the attacks have spreads to many communities. They youths told the Speaker of the House, Hon. Ayuba Abok to commenced the impeachment process against the Governor.
This action has generated tension in different parts of the state as some individuals on Facebook have sustained the pressure on the House of Assembly.
Reacting to the development, Member representing Pankshin South constituency and Chairman House Committee on information, Hon. Philip Dasun said the House was not sealed.
“It is not true that the House was sealed by security agencies but we have presence of security personnel in the House due to the tension over alleged plan to impeach the Governor.
“But there is no plan to impeach the governor, we only gave the governor two weeks ultimatum to address the security challenges in the state.” (Daily Sun)
