Feelers reaching LEADERSHIP Weekend from the Police Headquarters Abuja, yesterday, indicated that the Inspector General of Police, Abba Sulaiman has ordered the arrest of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal.

The order was given following a showdown between the police and members of the House of Representatives on Thursday, after the police blocked the entrance to the National Assembly and prevented the Speaker from gaining entrance, forcing some of the lawmakers who were with him to scale the locked gate and go into the chambers of the House of Representatives, where they stalled alleged plans to begin impeachment proceedings against the Speaker.

Sources at the police headquarters told LEADERSHIP Weekend that a similar arrest order had been issued by the Department of State Security (DSS).

According to the sources, the Inspector General gave the order for Tambuwal’s arrest after a meeting with Vice President Namadi Sambo and the National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki at the Presidential Villa, yesterday.

“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 involvement of the Sokoto commissioner of police is because the Speaker was sighted in Sokoto yesterday where he picked the APC’s governorship form for the forthcoming election. It was assumed that he was out of Abuja and as such, other police divisions were involved in the matter. “

Sources privy to details of the meeting in the Villa said both the Sambo and Dasuki berated the inspector general for the failure of his men to prevent the Speaker from gaining access into the National Assembly premises.

“The NSA was particularly angry and told the IG in clear terms that he doesn’t know his job. He asked how the Speaker and the members broke a cordon put in place by the FCT police commissioner. The NSA then made it clear that the police authorities must rectify the anomalies or they would face the consequences. The promised that Tambuwal would be arrested for questioning,” the source added.

The Nigerian Police Force really need to be neutral in political situations, they should stop being partisan and it is so obvious. As for the Presidency, it is so unfortunate that the oppositions are scoring cheap political points because of the way issues are handled which only points at one thing, despiracy of the president to clinch on to power!

Ok. Next Story

tqmbuwal should be arrested for breaching the constitution of he refuses to step down as Speaker. no where in the world does a minority bloc lead the majority in any house of assembly. he is now a minority and has no business being the speaker.i don't know why Nigerian politicians just love trouble like this.

and by the way it is shameful that PDP has not dealing with false and those agbero lawmakers in Ekiti for the recent show of shame over there. what is wrong with these politicians sef

I said it unless apc leads a protest against the chief prebendalist in our lands, the otouke man wouldn't understand his limits.

Oga, do your thing in private jare.

Arresting a 'top gun' in Nigeria entails allowing him drive his air-conditioned jeep to the station, sporting expensive clothing and jewellery, while he waits in an air-conditioned room for the query, done in low voices and lasts a maximum of two-hours.

Does the common man get identical privilege in terms of arrest? No!!

So, spare us the announcement.

i wish this story was true cos tambuwal is a traitor and should be treated like one. but the story is false so op pls stop using nonsence blog again.
Apc if u like protest from now till febuary, it wont change anytin caus my president cant shake.

Democracy is a game of numbers. Tambuwal is not required to resign by law because he decamped to APC. And if his new party is truly in the minority, the sensible thing for PDP to do is to impeach him following due process. Resulting to crude tactics to remove him only points to the fact that he enjoys the support of his colleagues in PDP as well.

The desperation on the part of GEJ and PDP to remove him by all means possible other than impeachment and court's decision will only serve to destabilize our democracy.

This is the only democracy I know of in the whole world where 16 is greater than 19, 7 is greater than 19 and our law enforcement agencies are military wings of the ruling party.

No matter how politically savy or highly placed u think u r, u dnt go up against ur commander-in-chief on a whim! This man is d speaker,yet came wit thugs 2d national assembly in wch d president was supposed 2show up at. him and his motley crew behaved like street urchins, and immediately in d house decided 2impeach d president on spurious charges! If he was kept outside witout explanations was it on d president's orders? why not call d IG? tambuwal can't tell me dt he doesn't hav d IG's nmbr.all they succeeded in doin was 2confirm dt d police intelligence report was right! Imagine, honourable fence jumpers
