The Assembly Complex had been sealed as members were embroiled in a leadership tussle following the death of the former speaker, Funminiyi Afuye.

Earlier, armed policemen and other security operatives were seen around the assembly as lawmakers hold a closed-door plenary session.

The stern-looking security operatives barred both journalists and other visitors from gaining entry into the assembly complex.

Some politicians were also seen in groups around the complex discussing the leadership tussle rocking the state assembly.
