Policemen Storm Edo Assembly, Teargas Speaker, Beat Up Workers by kel4soft: 5:46pm On Jul 05, 2014
Pandemonium ensued yesterday at the Edo State
House of Assembly as more than 50 mobile
Policemen in a commando fashion, invaded the
Edo State House of Assembly beating and chasing
away workers doing renovation work at the
complex.
The policemen who were led by Florence Joseph,
an Assistant Superintendent of Police [ASP] also
allegedly tear gassed the Speaker, Uyi Igbe,
threatening to shoot him and other lawmakers
who were there to supervise the renovation work.
She was further alleged to have disarmed Police
Orderlies of the APC lawmakers, leaving that of
PDP lawmakers who were also there to register
their displeasure over the renovation work at the
assembly.
Speaking on the matter, the suspended Deputy
Speaker, Festus Ebea said the renovation work
was unnecessary as according to him, it all
amounts to waste of public funds.
He said as the chairman of the House Assembly
Tenders Board Committee, he ought to have been
aware that complex needed renovation, adding the
roof was just changed last year and as such does
not need to be changed.
But addressing the media, the assembly
committee chairman on Information, Youths and
Sports, Kabiru Adjoto put the blame of Police
invasion on the doorstep of the PDP, who he said
resolved to destabilise the state and the House of
Assembly.
His words: “The PDP had threatened yesterday
that their members will sit at the assembly. Last
week, The renovation work informed our
relocating to the old House of at Government
House. The workers were working and more than
50 mobile policemen entered the assembly and
beat hell out of the workers.
“All the assembly staffs were ordered to lie down.
The question is who the police are serving. The
police commissioner and AIG Zone 5 said they
don't know where the policemen who invaded
here came from. These policemen were led by
one Florence Joseph, an ASP.
“She tear-gassed Mr. Speaker and they pointed
guns at everybody. The DCP came in and was
helpless. He cannot even give his junior officers
order to leave. Over the years, PDP has been
known for political thuggery. We are going to
defend our ground to the ground.

As usual they do not know where the police came from, unknown policemen is equal to unknown soldier equal to unknown government. Perhaps they should replace the name Nigeria with Unknown then we all become unknown citizens.
