They broke into the chambers when
plenary was going on, thereby creating serious confusion and tension.
The operation took Sergeant-At-Arms by surprise who tried to reclaim the mace without success.
It could be recalled that
Omo-Agege was suspended last week following his role in the electoral act
amendment bill seeking to reorder the election sequence.
This development has, hitherto,
thrown the Senate, and the entire National Assembly into uproar and fear of
what really happened.
The snatched mace is the symbol
of authority and the Senate consequently can no longer legitimately hold
plenary.
Discussions right now is being
held in groups and hush tones as to what might be the next line of action.
This development happened as the
Deputy Senate president, Ike Ekweremadu was presiding over the plenary in the
absence of the Senate President, senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki who is currently at
the World Bank event in the United States.
As at the time of filing this
report, the situation is hazy and uncertainty looms large while
This is not the not first time
such incident would happen the National Assembly, it once happened during the
Obasanjo administration when the mace was allegedly taken to Okija shrine.
