The Senate has asked the security to arrest suspended Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and some hoodlums he allegedly led into the Senate plenary to seize the Mace which is the symbol of authority of the Upper Legislative Chamber.
“This action is an act of treason, as it is an attempt to overthrow a branch of the Federal Government of Nigeria by force, and it must be treated as such. All Security agencies must stand on the side of due process and immediately mobilize their personnel to retrieve the mace and apprehend the mastermind and the perpetrators of this act.”
In a statement by the Senate spokesman, Senator Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly stressed that this action is also an affront on the legislature, and the Leadership of the House.
It said that the Senate is now in an Executive session even as promised that an updated statement will be released immediately after the closed door session.
