The Kogi State House of Assembly complex located at Crusher Area, Lokoja, has been razed by fire.
It was gathered that the early morning inferno engulfed the whole building and razed down the chamber completely.
It was gathered that the fire started in the middle of the night, but the security agents got to know about it around 7am, on Monday morning.
The Speaker of the House, Prince Mathew Kolawole, and the Security Adviser to the Governor, Commander Jerry Omodara, were among the early callers at the assembly complex.
Speaking with newsmen, Kolawole said that he suspects sabotage but fell short of where the suspected sabotage might come from.
Asked whether it might have been linked with the recent happening between the Assembly and Dangote Group, the Speaker said that is left to the security agencies to determine.
“We should leave security people to do their work and give us a report going forward,” he said.
