There was palpable tension at the Ondo state House of Assembly complex, in Akure, the state capital, on Monday, as some people suspected to be political thugs laid siege at the Assembly complex.
The fierce-looking men numbering over 100 arrived at the Assembly complex around 9 am and stationed themselves at the main entrance of the complex with scores of vehicles parked on the road leading to the state Assembly.
According to some workers and officials of the Assembly said the invasion of the House by the suspected political thugs might not be unconnected with the plans of some suspended lawmakers to resume to the office today after a court injunction.
