Sani Omoloru, Clerk to the
National Assembly, CNA, has been denied access to the National Assembly.
Security agents stopped him from
entering the premises at about 10:15 am.
The CNA on arrival was confronted
by armed Department of State Service (DSS) operatives.
He asked why his staff and others
were stopped and was told of “orders from above”.
Omolori expressed dismay at the
situation, saying he was in shock.
The CNA, however, insisted he
cannot work without his staff and told Musa Bature, chairman of the
Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN) that he was not a party to
what was going on.
Omolori then angrily turned back
after asking the PASAN leader to appeal to his members to remain calm and not
take laws into their hands.
Meanwhile, Senators backing
President Muhammadu Buhari, at about the same time, were meeting at a hotel in
the Central area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja in a bid to force a
change in the leadership of the Senate.
“The Senators loyal to the
government are now convening in Sheraton Hotel where the illegal impeachment
exercise will be commencing. You can quote me on this,” a source revealed.
However, Senator Ben Bruce has
revealed plan to move against those he called, “anti-democratic” agents.
He said this while condemning the
invasion of the National Assembly by security agencies.
We had reported the massive
reinforcement at the entry, exit and within the premises.
The lawmaker vowed that he and
his colleagues (pro-Saraki Senators) would report President Muhamadu Buhari,
Department of State Services (DSS), the Nigeria Police among others to the
international community.
