Missing Mace: Police Arrest Sen Omo-Agege

Dupe Olaoye-Osinkolu/

The police in Abuja have arrested Sen Ovie Omo-Agege, after he was accused of leading thugs to the Upper Chambers to steal the mace.

Watch the moment the senator was whisked away from the National Assembly premises:

 

Meanwhile, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the invasion of the Senate in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi.

The statement reads: “The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to the invasion of the Nigerian Senate by suspected thugs who disrupted Wednesday’s plenary and made away with the mace.

“The APC hereby condemns this action and views it as an attack on our democracy and a desecration of the hallowed institution of the National Assembly.

“We therefore call on security agencies to take all necessary actions to recover the stolen mace and ensure that the perpetrators and their sponsors are brought to justice.”
