The 27 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly loyal to former Governor Nyesom Wike, were on Thursday stopped by the policemen manning the gates of the Assembly from entering.
According to reports, the pro-Wike lawmakers, led by the Speaker, Martin Amaewhule, were at the Assembly to hold a valedictory session in honour of their late colleague, Dinebari Loloox, who represented Khana State Constituency 2.
But the bus conveying the lawmakers, all dressed in black, was stopped by policemen at the gates, who said they had an order not to allow anyone in.
