Ovie Omo-Agege, senator
representing Delta central, joined his colleagues at the senate’s plenary
session on Wednesday morning.
He arrived around 10.30am, signed
the daily attendance register and left the chamber.
However, he returned before the
senate went into a closed-door session.
He was expected resume sitting on
Tuesday after a hight court nullified his suspension last week but he did not
show up.
Security at the national assembly
was beefed up in the anticipation of his return.
The lawmaker was suspended for 90
legislative days after he took the upper legislative chamber to court in a bid
to prevent his suspension following his disagreement with the position of the
senate on the election reordering bill.
Omo-Agege and nine other senators
had said that the bill was targeted at President Muhammadu Buhari.
Abdullahi Adamu, senator
representing Nasarawa west; Binta Garba, senator representing Adamawa north;
and late Ali Wakili, senator representing Bauchi south, among those who kicked
against the bill.
On April 18, Omo-Agege stormed
the senate with suspected thugs who seized the mace of the upper legislative
chamber.
He has since denied that he led
thugs to snatch the mace.
The senate has summoned him
alongside Ali Ndume, a senator from Borno state, to state their roles in the
mace-snatching incident
