Thugs on Monday morning, invaded the Akwa Ibom state house of assembly, reportedly preventing lawmakers from gaining access into the assembly premises.
According to the PDP, the thugs chanted the APC slogan, change as they attacked the assembly complex.
Naija News however gathered that the events may not be unconnected with a federal high court order which declared the seat of Idongesit Ituen, member representing Itu constituency vacant.
The court judgement followed Ituen’s recent defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

We therefore call on the @PoliceNG and other security agencies to move in quickly to restore peace and order in the State. We believe the Police will bring the perpetrators to book as we advise members of the public to stay away from the AKHA and its environment.#AKHAUnderAttack pic.twitter.com/ILaOPyADfj
