The House of Representatives was yesterday divided
over government deployment of troops to Bayelsa State and the escalation
of mayhem in the oil-rich state.
While legislators from the Niger-Delta area sought the
condemnation of the act and immediate withdrawal of the troops, those from
the North opposed it, but rather blamed the people of the area for the
persistent uprising.
