The ongoing political chess game between the Presidency and Federal lawmakers took a new turn early today as operatives of State Security Service (SSS) with their faces covered like Ninja warriors mounted a barricade at the entrance of the National Assembly deciding who should come in.

NewsmakersNG learnt that at first only Senators seen to be loyal to President Muhammadu Buhari were allowed into the premises until some who belong to other camps forced their way in and began a protest.

Here are videos and pictures from the scene:
