Confusion as police invade Rivers Assembly, fire live ammunition at lawmakers

 

THE Rivers Police Command on Thursday in Port Harcourt disrupted the resumed sitting of the state House of Assembly.
The Commander of the Port Harcourt Area Command, Mr Aliyu Garba, told Newsmen that the command had not received an order from the court to re-open the assembly complex.
Garba said the police did not allow anybody into the complex because there was no order for the police to do so.
He said the role of the police was to avert the breakdown of law and order in the society.
