TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports security agencies, believed to be drafted from Abuja, on Thursday, stormed the Edo Assembly complex to provide security cover to 17 lawmakers loyal to All Progressives Congress (APC) and its governorship candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
The move, TNG gathered, which was to allow fresh inauguration of the APC loyalists, and the impeachment of the Speaker, Frank Okiye; the Governor and his deputy, Philip Shaibu, was however foiled when Obaseki, Shaibu and supporters stormed the complex.
