Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, has condemned the invasion of the National Assembly by security operatives earlier today, describing it as illegal.
In a statement in Abuja today by Laolu Akande, his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Osinbajo said the action was taken without the knowledge of the presidency.
The statement read: “Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has described the unauthorized takeover of the National Assembly complex earlier today as a gross violation of constitutional order, rule of law and all acceptable notions of law and order.
“According to him, the unlawful act which was done without the knowledge of the Presidency is condemnable and completely unacceptable.
“By this statement, Professor Osinbajo is consequently assuring Nigerians that all persons within the law enforcement apparatus who participated in this travesty will be identified and subjected to appropriate disciplinary action.”
Meanwhile, reports say the sacked Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS), Lawal Daura, has been arrested by the police and detained at an undisclosed location in Abuja.
Daura was reportedly arrested shortly after he was sacked by the Acting President over the illegal invasion of the National Assembly.
