Senate Shut Down As Security Agencies Lay Siege On Presiding Officers Homes by akelicious(m): 9:04am On Jul 24, 2018
Security agents on Tuesday, barricaded the residences of the presiding officers of the Senate.

Our correspondent learnt that security operatives besieged the Maitama, Abuja residence of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki as early as 7am and blocked his convoy as he was set to honour the police invitation.at the force headquarters.


Simultaneously, a combined team of Police, DSS, and EFCC also stormed the Apo Legislative Quarters of the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who is expected to preside at the Senate in the absence of Saraki.

The Special Adviser to the deputy senate president, Uche Anichukwu, confirmed the development in a chat with our correspondent.

He said, “The Operatives from the DSS, EFCC and some policemen in their scores have barricaded the residence of Senator Ekweremadu at his Apo legislative quarters.

“He is preparing to preside over the Senate in the absence of the Senate President who has been invited by the police.”
An aide of the Senate President who refused to be quoted said, “The siege is still on as of 8:30am when I got there and I can not even confirm the whereabouts of my boss at the moment. ”

“The implication of both actions is that the Senate will not sit today if the two presiding officers were not still deprived of their freedom of movement or arrested before plenary which starts at 9am.

Saraki was arrested this morning, to prevent his defection to PDP with a lot of senators, automatically making them the majority.. The plan was to pass a vote of no confidence on Buhari and Hence, impeach him, but the plan got to Buhari, who now ordered his arrest this morning..

Nigeria is ruled by a dictator. BEWARE!

We are back to the military days. This country is in serious trouble.

We were warned before 2015 but some 15million people refused to listen. Now 160 million are paying the ultimate prize.

But who dem ep? They can shut down till 2019 if they wish.

Speaki should go and answer his case and leave us out of it. It's 31 lives we are talking about.

When they are kwallecting 15M monthly alarm, we will not see them, but when one of dem dies or run in trouble with the police, they want the whole world to know.
