The police have confirmed the deployment of personnel to the Ekiti State House of Assembly to pre-empt an impending crisis.
Police Command on Thursday said it deployed its personnel to the House to prevent a breach of public peace.

He insisted that the command was only being proactive in the course of maintaining law and order.
“Anytime you see the deployment of policemen, it is to ensure the safety and the security of that place and the people there.
” There is no need for people to be curious about the deployment of security men in the quest to ensure the security of life and property, except for those who have some form of crime to hide
“Anytime you see us doing deployment, it is for a reason; it is to ensure the safety of that place at a given time
” That means there must be information which we are working on, and what that shows is how proactive the Nigeria Police Force of today is,’’ he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that there was a heavy security presence at the assembly complex on Thursday morning, fueling speculations of renewed crisis among the lawmakers who are currently on recess.
