Police say it has launched an investigation into the “security situation” at the Rivers state house of Assembly complex.
Police said in a statement on Monday, that it would take immediate action against those responsible for the chaos at the complex.
A section of the assembly complex was razed by fire on Sunday.
Tension heightened at the complex on Monday when police officers allegedly fired teargas canisters and aimed water cannons at the convoy of Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The police statement read, “We’re aware of the security situation at the Rivers State House of Assembly Complex.
“We’ve launched a comprehensive investigation to uncover the circumstances and will take immediate actions against those responsible.”
Governor Fubara, earlier on Monday, alleged that security operatives had been compromised, claiming that they shot directly at him at the Assembly complex.
The Rivers governor said he is not against anyone, feigning ignorance about the source of the political crisis in the state.
