FG orders probe of National Assembly invasion
The Federal Government has ordered an investigation into the invasion of the National Assembly and theft of the mace from the Senate.
Some hooligans who escorted suspended Senator Ovie Omo-Agege to the National Assembly invaded the Senate Chamber during plenary around 11:30 am, and stole the mace in violent manner.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday, expressed that the Federal Government was shocked by the incident and has ordered a probe.
The security agencies are “to immediately unravel the circumstances surrounding the breach of security that led to the invasion”, the statement signed by a Special Adviser to the minister, Segun Adeyemi, read in part.
In addition to that, the statement said security would also be reinforced to prevent a recurrence.
Meanwhile, the principal suspect in the mace theft, Omo-Agege, has been arrested by the Police for interrogation.
