Police have taken over the Edo State House of Assembly complex in Benin City, the state capital.

Security officials and their patrol vehicles were seen stationed at the frontage of the House of Assembly.

The police took the action following a reported threat of an attack on the facility.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) had ochestrated the removal of Francis Okiye, the Speaker of the Edo State House of Assembly and replaced him with Yekini Idiaye, the former Deputy Speaker.
