Part of Kogi House of Assembly Complex located at Crusher Area of Lokoja, the Kogi state capital was at the early hours of Monday razed down.
The section of the complex which was burnt include; its Chambers, Gallery and Roof.
It was gathered that the fire started middle of the night but the security agents were able to know at about 7 am on Monday morning.
The chamber was razed down completely including the chairs, tables and roof of the building.
The Speaker of the House of Assembly, Prince Mathew Kolawole and the State Security Adviser, Commander Jerry Omodara were among the early callers at the assembly complex.
Kolawole, while speaking with newsmen said that he suspects sabotage but fell short of where the suspected sabotage might be from.
Asked whether it might have been linked with the recent happening between the Assembly and Dangote group, said that is left to the security to determine.
“We should leave security people to do their work and give us a report going forward,” the speaker said.
However, a source who does not want his name in print said he suspected an explosion but couldn’t say who might be responsible.
