There was commotion in the Senate on Wednesday as suspended Senator Ovie Omo-Agege (APC – Delta Central) led some thugs to the Upper Chamber of the National Assembly.
In a commando-style manner, Omo-Agege entered the chamber, snatched the mace and gave it to one of the thugs.
The thug with the mace threatened to attack any senator who tried to retrieve the mace from him.
He was shouting: “If you come near me, I will hit you. We are from Niger Delta. Don’t dare us”.
Senators watched as if hypnotized as Omo-Agege and the thugs took the mace away.
Everything happened in about two minutes.
Immediately, the Senate went into an executive session to deliberate on the next line of action.
Security has been heightened in the National Assembly.
The Senate on Thursday had suspended Omo-Agege for 90 legislative days.
He was also asked to withdraw his suit against the Senate from the court.
The Senate also mandated that Parliamentary Support Group (Senate) for President Muhammadu Buhari must be disbanded immediately.
Decisions of the Senate were subsequent to a report of Senator Samuel Anyanwu, PDP, Imo East-led Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions which investigated the Senator.
Omo-Agege was accused of openly castigating the Senate over its decision to re-order election sequence which is believed to be against President Muhammadu Buhari.
