The Inspector General of Police, Abba Sulaiman
may have given orders for the arrest of
Speaker of the House of Representatives Hon
Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, Daily Trust has learnt.
Sources told Daily Trust a similar order has been
handed down to the Department of State Security
(DSS.)
The orders were given following the fracas that
broke out at the National Assembly on Thursday
where members of the House of Representatives
were confronted by armed security personnel who
threw canisters of teargas at the speaker and other
lawmakers to stop them from accessing the
parliament building.
The speaker and some of his colleagues who
supported him beat the security cordon and later
held a brief plenary thereby stopping some
members in their tracks who had gathered
protected by scores of Police and DSS operatives to
initiate impeachment proceedings against the
leadership of the House.
Sources at the Police headquarters revealed that the
Police chief gave the order for Tambuwal's arrest
after a meeting with Vice President Namadi Sambo
and the National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki.
"I can confirm to you that the order for his arrest
has been given today (Friday). The signal from the
IG's office specifically directed the FCT and Sokoto
State commissioners of Police to serve Tambuwal
with notice of invitation to the force headquarters
and if he resists, he should be arrested immediately,
“the source revealed.
"The involvement of Sokoto CP was because the
Speaker was sighted in Sokoto on Friday where he
picked the All Progressive Congress (APC)
governorship form for the coming elections. It was
assumed that he was out of Abuja as such other
police divisions were involved in the matter."
Sources at the meeting in Villa indicate that both the
Vice President and the NSA chastised the Police
boss for the failure of his men to prevent Speaker
from entering the national assembly premises.
"The NSA was particularly angry and told the IG in
clear terms that he doesn't know his job. He said
how did the Speaker and the members break a
cordon organised by the FCT Police commissioner.
The NSA then made it clear that the Police
authorities must rectify the anomalies or they will
face the consequences. The IG then said Tambuwal
will be arrested for questioning.”

Demo-crazy indeed

If however Number 4 can be arrested because he went into his office, Numbers 3, 2 and 1 are not safe.

Eventually, the fallout will consume what wasn't anticipated with all the impunity and carelessness being practised

I like Tambuwal as a person.But he joined a party of thugs.....they are making him look bad now..See??

show of crazy, in demo-crazy.

na wa ooo!no more immunity clause for him

This is getting serious.

Interesting.

Who is IGP?


We don't him here in Sambisa forest

IGP why not go after Shekau and the BH Ninja and leave Tambuwal alone. He has few months left in office following which he would go and test his popularity in Sokoto State. Besides you gave the worst of reasons for invading the National Assembly, a reason even the toddler would reject. Mr. IGP you and your boys should expend your energy on Shekau and co.
