Tension rose at the Ondo State House of Assembly in Akure after suspected political thugs entered the legislative complex amid reports of moves to remove Speaker Olamide Oladiji.
Sources within the Assembly alleged that the men came from Ondo township, the Speaker’s constituency.
That allegation was not independently verified.
The men were reportedly seen moving between offices within the complex, creating concern among lawmakers and staff.
A staff member said the situation was brought under control after intervention by Assembly member Olajide Oguntodu, other lawmakers and security personnel.
The suspected intruders were subsequently removed from the premises.
The incident occurred against the background of an internal political crisis surrounding attempts to remove the Speaker.
Details of the impeachment process, including the specific allegations against Oladiji and the number of lawmakers supporting the move, were not independently confirmed in the source material.
The episode highlights the risk that internal legislative disputes can spill into security incidents when political supporters become involved.
Further developments are expected as lawmakers clarify whether a formal removal process has begun and security agencies investigate the circumstances surrounding the intrusion.
