The state security adviser, Commander Jerry Omodara, and the speaker of the house, Mathew Kolawole, were among the first people to arrive at the assembly building.
No one has been able to identify the cause of the fire as of the time this report was filed.
The Speaker of the Assembly 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, he said that that is left to the security to determine.

However,a source who do not want his name in print said he suspected explosion but couldn’t say who might be responsible.
