This led to a heated exchange with a Deputy Commissioner of Police, Tajudeen Bakare, who led the operation.
Bakare told the lawmakers that the information available to him indicated that there would be a breakdown of law and order.
However, the lawmakers insisted they would sit anywhere in the state as allowed by the Constitution since the police had taken over the assembly.
Mr Ikyange had rejected his impeachment declaring the process illegal and believes the lawmakers are bent on destroying the legislature.
However, the lawmakers told journalists that the impeachment process met all the constitutional requirements.
They vowed to carry on with the planned sitting in any part of the state, and eventually, moved to the Government House for plenary''.More photos below.
