The House of Representatives yesterday gave 48 hours to the Director-General of the Department of State Security (DSS), Lawan Musa Daura to appear before it to explain reasons for their invasion of the Ekiti State House of Assembly complex.
The lawmakers, in adopting a motion by the minority leader, Leo Ogor (PDP, Delta), said such actions by the DSS were in “clear violation of the provisions of the constitution.”


Orog, who came under matters of urgent national importance, said the invasion by the agency to the Assembly complex was “unacceptable” and goes to demonstrate interference of an arm of government.
“If somebody violates the law,” Ogor told the House, “and nothing is done, it gives him the privilege to move forward.
“Therefore, it is important that we summon the Director-General of the DSS to explain where the agency derived its powers to invade and destabilize the activities of the House.
“It is important to respect the rule of law and the sanctity of this institution must remain sacrosanct.”
After the motion was unanimously adopted by the lawmakers, speaker of the House Yakubu Dogara referred the matter to public safety and intelligence committee for further works.

Nigeria self.

Watching in 3D

Incase it makes frontpage

It's high time to say adieu to era of irresponsibility where the nation remains lawless thus dumping checks and balances.

I am today happy that members of the Green Chamber are responsive and alive to their responsibilities.

Should they remain passive to watch out impunity,someday,the nation will wake up without a NASS

This ugly situation has been the bane of the nation's progress;reference on Dasuki and Kanu has to be made where decisions of our courts were subjected to mockery

I believe the VP (SAN) should be advising PMB on the part of the law and due process in discharging his duty.

Is it that VP is not advising him or is it that he (PMB) is not taking VP advise in towering the part of due process before taking decisions on policy making

Abeggy, daura is buhari's first son

Make them go bundle am now.

Are they saying suspect (s) are immuned from being arrested in the so called hallowed chamber that has already been desecrated by the hooligan governor ?

Good development

This is a very good move by the lower house. it's high time we collectively said No to tyranny and moderated democracy. Nigeria is bigger than one man.

Good one, this lawlessness must stop.

Shut up who made them suspects
Did you see the arrest warrant



You are a hypocrite if you sppoke against dss activities during jonathans time but celebrate it now

The draconial, dictatorial, confused and clueless Buhari will not listen to them because this APC government have no respect for human life, human rights, constitution, judiciary and national assembly. We have an illiterate cattle herdsman as Nigeria president who only believes in violence and civil disorder. How else can one describe the numerous show of shame displayed by this APC government.

the activities of these over-zealous dss the armed-wing of APC should be placed on checks before we wake up one day and find ourselves in somalia.

God forbid bad thing

; good one for dat matter

Don't be surprised the Daura man will ignore this.

They need to call the guy to oda!



ThefakeStan

To what end?

It beat my imagination if everything about APC always make an apposite meaning to what its stands for.What a retrogressive party with a progressive name.An agency who is supposed to be non partisan carrying out it statutory duty of protecting her citizens is now a nightmare to her citizens.The country is changing from the antecedents of rule of law to a draconian system of government.Dss molesting,intimidating and negotiating for political office for Apc members is a shame.Pa Buhari call your kinsman Daura to order.

I hope something comes out of this

buh they didn't deem it fit to summon fayose when he slapped a sitting judge o

or when he unconstitutionally impeached senior lawmakers in Ekiti

I can see his pally with our red-cap brothers yielding small fruit.

buh Justice will prevail... whether they like it or not

DSS are giving us problems in this country. When Fayose talks they will refer him to be a mad mad. #stillwatching

Watching in 4D
Barman give 5 bottles of Origin with 1000# Suya

good at least politic is not eminity haba

Why won't DSS storm the State house of Assembly, where the Reps members blind on the kind and nature of things going on there. imagine when a governor is intervening on an independent house.


I blame the youth that voted those bastard house members. a house with two majority leaders, a house where 5 members can form a quorum.

Buhari the tyrant.

Buhari just dey take shovel to dig his own grave. Like seriously, there are smarter ways of doing things, the world has moved on from the 80s. Ask obj

When APC is down with four years term, our eyes will be clear.

Una never see anything yet, the next place he will visit is the federal house of assembly. You refuse to check and curtail his excessive at the beginning, now he has grown beyond the law and his power drunk. This is a case of medication disposal after death.
