Oluremi Tinubu, senator
representing Lagos central, says she does not feel safe in her office.
Tinubu said this on Thursday
while commenting on the carting away of some “critical” items in her office.
She requested that the senate
replace her volumes one to 14 of the laws of the federation and a closed
circuit television (CCTV) box.
“On Wednesday 9th January 2019,
my staff upon resumption noticed some anomalies in the organisation and setup
of the office prompting an inspection,” the lawmaker said.
“It was discovered that one HP
laptop computer, CCTV camera box, one Smile internet device and copies of the
laws of the federation had been carted away.
“Subsequently, a report was
lodged at the police post of the national assembly. I’m requesting two things
from the senate, the leadership of the senate and sympathy that the senate is
to direct that volumes one to 14 of the laws of the federation and CCTV box
carted away be replaced.
“Also the senate should
thoroughly investigate the matter and security arrangement of the national
assembly to ensure safety and property.
“This time, the occurrence is
something that is worrisome. One this is the time we are all going for
election, right now I don’t feel safe in my office, because when things happen
and nothing tangible is being taken away, you begin they wonder.”
On his part, Ike Ekweremadu,
deputy senate president, described the incident as “an embarrassment for all of
us.”
Ekweremadu referred the matter to
the management to investigate the burglary and report back through the
committee on senate services.
