Normalcy Returns To Benue Assembly, Police Vacate Premises
Normalcy has finally returned to the Benue State House of Assembly complex, Makurdi, following the vacation of the premises by security operatives.
Security operatives, mainly policemen, had besieged the premises of the State House Assembly and provided cover for the impeached speaker, Terkimbi Ikyange APC-led faction to hold plenary while 22 members of the Assembly belonging to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were denied access.
