The reports said the secret police had taken over all entrances to the assembly complex on Wednesday.

“I understand that they are being paid if they have a lot of traffic, but I hope the public is aware that this is total fake news.”


Akpabio referred the matter to the special duties committee to report back “as soon as possible”.
