The police has sealed off the Nasarawa house of assembly complex following the election of two speakers for the 7th assembly.
Ramhan Nansel, the state police public relations officer (PPRO), said Maiyaki Mohammed-Baba, the commissioner of police, gave the directive after consultation with other security agencies in the state.
He said the action was taken to prevent the breakdown of law and order.
On Tuesday, the members-elect held two parallel proceedings resulting in the election of the different speakers for the assembly.
Ibrahim Abdullahi, the incumbent speaker, and Daniel Ogazi, member representing Kokona east constituency, were elected at the different proceedings.
While Abdullahi was elected at a sitting which took place at the ministry for local government and chieftaincy affairs by 11 out of the 24 members-elect, Ogazi was elected by 13 members at plenary at the state assembly complex.
