The Nigerian Police Force of different units has taken over all entrances into the Cross River State House of Assembly.

CEOAFRICA gathered that they took positions as early as 6am on Tuesday as a result of the judgment delivered by a Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice Taiwo Taiwo, which sacked 18 lawmakers from the State and two in the House of Representatives for crossing from the PDP to the APC on May 20, 2021.

The different units included the anti-kidnapping and cultism squad and the regular policemen all occupied the Assembly’s premises as they turned back staff members of the Assembly. They were cautioned not to loiter around.

Motorists and innocent passers-by are having difficult time meandering through the crowd of security men, their vans and other onlookers.

However, the ruling APC had said they had applied to the Court for stay of execution of the judgment, while they had proceeded to the Appeal Court.
