Opposition members in the Senate have threatened to
raise the issue of the last Thursday’s invasion of the
National Assembly by the security operatives, when the
Senate resumes plenary today (Tuesday).

The spokesperson for the group, who is also the member
representing Ekiti Central on the platform of the APC,
Senator Babafemi Ojudu, gave the hint in a telephone
interview with our correspondent in Abuja.

Ojudu said his colleagues were very annoyed with the
ways they were maltreated and molested by the
policemen, who were deployed in the National Assembly
on the orders of the Inspector – General of Police.

He said majority of his members were of the opinion that
the IGP should not be allowed to enter into the chambers,
but should be asked to resign for allegedly ridiculing the
federal lawmakers who had done nothing wrong other
than going to carry out their lawful legislative activities.

He said, “We (APC Senators) are holding a crucial meeting
this (Monday) night to take a final decision on the matter
because majority of us are really angry. Some are even
of the opinion that we should demand the resignation or
sacking of the IGP.

“I can assure you that the issue of the National Assembly
invasion by the police would be raised when we resume
sitting tomorrow (Tuesday ), but we are going to take a
single position on the matter at our meeting tonight,” he
added.

However, the Chairman, Senate Committee on
Information, Media and Public Affairs, Senator Eyinnaya
Abaribe, had in an interview with our correspondent, on
Saturday, maintained that the Senate would not be thrown
into any chaotic situation over the Thursday’s invasion of
the National Assembly complex by security operatives.

He had admitted that the IGP would appear before the
Senate but assured the public that the matter would be
handled with maturity.
