A group, Concerned Nasarawa Stakeholders Forum, has urged the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr Usman Alkali Baba to call the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Maiyaki Mohammed-Baba to order.
The group on a protest at the Police Headquarters in Abuja accused Mohammed-Baba of fuelling the crisis in the State Assembly.
The State House of Assembly recently elected two different Speakers, Ibrahim Balarabe-Abdullahi, who is seeking a third term, and Daniel Ogazi.
11 members elected Balarabe-Abdullahi at the Ministry for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, while 13 members elected Ogazi at the sitting in the Assembly Complex.
The protesters who besieged the entrance of Force Headquarters, Abuja with placards accused the state government of trying to impose Balarabe-Abdullahi on the Assembly.
Some of the inscriptions read, ‘Nasarawa Assembly must be freed from bondage,’ ‘Police cannot be partisan’, ‘Assembly elections outside assembly complex is illegal’, ‘We want peace in Nasarawa State’.
An Assistant Commission of Police, Kingsley Emeka, who received the protesters promised to convey their message to the IGP and urged them to remain von-violent and law-abiding.
