There was pandemonium at the Plateau State House of Assembly in the early hours of Monday 1st November as thugs gained access from the back of the house to wreck havoc and attempt to remove members who were already sitted in the house.

Leading to damages of doors and windows before the quick response of the security personnel to restore order.
Soon afterwards, the security agencies moved in to forestall the breakdown of law and order as they ordered everyone out of the complex also tear gassed persons who resisted as they scampered for safety.
