Tear Gas: Mark Summons IGP, Shuts National Assembly by abokiigbo: 2:10pm On Nov 20, 2014
The Chairman of the National Assembly and President of the Senate, Senator David Mark has shut down the National Assembly after security operatives tear gassed lawmakers in efforts to prevent the Speaker, House of Representatives, Hon Aminu Tambuwal from presiding over the House. Tambuwal, who had earlier defected from the People Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), had adjourned the House sitting to December 3. The House however reconvened to discuss a request from President Goodluck Jonathan for an extension of state of emergency declared in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states. Troubled started on Thursday when policemen and operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) prevented Tambuwal from gaining access to the National Assembly. The situation prompted lawmakers loyal to the Speaker to force open the foot gate to grant him access while other lawmakers scaled the fence to join him on the other side. The security operatives promptly tear gassed the premises of the National Assembly leaving Tambuwal and other lawmakers covering their nostrils. The commotion forced Senate President, David Mark to adjourn a sitting that was discussing the same request from President Jonathan. He has also summoned the Inspector General of Police in addition to shutting the National Assembly until Tuesday next week.
