The House of Representatives on Wednesday condemned in strong terms the Wednesday’s attack on the Senate by suspected thugs, who made away with the mace, thereby disrupting plenary. The Speaker of the House, Hon, Yakubu Dogara who led other members in a solidarity visit to the Senate described the incident as an “act of terrorism.”
He called on Security agencies to immediately commence an investigation into the matter with a view to bringing the perpetrators to justice.
Vigil360 had reported earlier that suspended Senator Omo-Agege on Wednesday morning led some thugs to the Senate chamber to snatch the mace, a development that threw the Senate chamber into chaos.
Following the removal of the mace, the Senate went into a closed-door session before resuming plenary with a mace suspected to be one of the reserves.
Meanwhile, the Police have arrested Sen. Omo-Agege.
