MAKURDI—As the N750
million car purchase scam continues to rock Benue State House of Assembly, the
complex was yesterday taken over by security personnel and youths of All
Progressives Congress, APC, and Peoples Democratic, PDP.
This came as
suspended member of the Assembly, Kester Kyenge, blamed his suspension on his
call for an investigative panel to probe how the bailout fund to the state by
Federal Government was spent.
Kyenge, who is leader of the Consensus for Change
group in the House, was handed a five months suspension for alleged unruly
behaviour.
The security operatives, including a detachment of the Mobile Police
Force and operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, mounted
checkpoints at over 800 metres from the complex, frisking anyone heading
towards the Assembly.
The security operatives also ensured that the aggrieved
youths were prevented from causing a breakdown of law and order both within and
outside the complex.
The House Committee Chairman on Information, Bem Ngutyo,
said the presence of security operatives was to forestall any criminal act in
the Assembly. Vanguardngr reported
