Plateau: Police teargas sacked PDP lawmakers attempting to resume duties
Police officers have shot tear gas at the 16 Plateau lawmakers who were sacked by the court of appeal.
The lawmakers, who were elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), were sacked by the appeal court over a lack of party structure in November 2023.
On Monday, the sacked members of the Plateau house of assembly announced plans to resume legislative duties today despite the ruling of the court of appeal.
The policemen and other security operatives took over the premises of the Government House and prevented the sacked lawmakers from going into the chambers of the House of Assembly but the lawmakers had vowed not to vacate the premises.
