A security personnel at the entrance of the National Assembly, said he was told by the protesters they were officers with the senator. “We tired to stop them but they told us they were with him (Omo-Agege),” he said.
Mr Omo-Agege was suspended for accusing his colleagues of working against President Muhammadu Buhari. The moment the maze was stolen can be watched from 21st minutes of the video. NAN reports that the men barged into the Chamber of the Senate, during plenary, pushed away the Sergeant-at-Arms positioned at the entrance and carted away the mace. It is unclear if the men have succeeded in leaving the National Assembly complex but at the time of this report, the mace has been taken away from the chamber.
The drama coincided with the protest at the National Assembly against the suspension of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, APC- Delta Central. Yusuph Olaniyonu, the media adviser to Senate president said on a WhatsApp forum that an official statement will soon be issue.
