Breaking News: Inspector General
of Police
orders arrest of speaker Tambuwal
IGP AbbaThe Inspector General of
Police, Abba Sulaiman may have
given orders for the arrest of
Speaker
of the House of RepresentativesHon
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
Representativeswere 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.”

Ok

Everything is possible in Nigeria

what Awolowo once described as “Ojelu” meaning the corrupt and greedy politicians as opposed to “Oselu” who seek public office to leave a worthy legacy and to help the nation grow and prosper to enjoy the full dividends of Democracy.

I say Nigeria is in deep trouble because most of our Clerics, our Bishops and our Chief Imams are equally as corrupt as our political leaders.

Local hunters and vigilantes now display more bravery than many of our men and women in uniform

Buhari and Jonathan, Buhari would be a better choice because he is the lesser of two evils and because the man has the clout, the leverage, the integrity and the discipline to lead Nigeria right now given the level of Corruption and insecurity in Nigeria. He has done it before. I believe He can do it again if we support him. Need I say more?

We must all care about the competency and patriotism of the next president and vice president, not their religious and ethnic backgrounds!

The IG is about to run mad, there is an adage about those who the gods wants to kill. I rest my case!!!

I'm high with confusion.
#PowerPlay.

When I am thro with this. ......

did I hear you say coup imminent?

please

Arrest on Friday night?
Anyways Gej till...?






Change occurs

APC paid press, dishing out propaganda since 1880.

He should be locked behind bars...Him and his bunch of shameless 'gate climbing' touts disgraced the country.

Imagine,the video is all over youtube...Kai!!

.

This pdp police ig is really working on destroying pdp which is the best thing that could happen to Nigeria at this point in time.

Suleiman Abba,please continue, My prayer must get answered.

Fear has destroyed pigdogpigs.

Tambuwal has destroyed the pigheads.

I cant start to imagine ow d 2015 general election's gona be...wit all dis happenins...in d national chambers at dat....mr.igp sir..u gt it al wrng...all dis nid 2 stp

If any criminal attempts to lock you out of your house,you must climb the gate.

Nigerians do that everyday.

Sauce. ..u known the drilll

How can a speaker of the Federal House be so lawless ? Imagine the so called touts we call our representatives jumping fence and pushing police men all in the name of APC opposition. Does this even make sense to any reasonable person.

They even went to the extent of slapping the Senate president. Only in Nigeria will such lawlessness be condoled because of sentiment al reasons.

APC Leaders and rep members should be arrested NOW !!!.

I Hope Nairaland is not adding to the already charged atmosphere.

This news is pure poo because the reporter even reported the conversation held between Sambo and IG. Fake news from an arm of the APC

Lobatan.........Country for sale

I doubt if Mr president want to add comedian to his name.

chesterlee:

Your President disgraced the country, and not the lawmakers.

Whatever, in Nigeria, everything goes for nothing

Reading through the passage carefully, i noticed that the police first issue invitation notice to Tambuwal, if he refuse to honor police invitation, that is when an arrest can be made on him.
But APC e warriors are misinforming the people that IGP has order his arrest.

I'm surprised you are talking this way. He should stay outside and wait for 7 to be greater than 23 again? We all know your game plan- prevent the speaker from entering, make ihedioha preside and impeach tambuwal. So that he goes to court again.......

Can't Jonathan pretend not to be behind all these for once? This iڪ rather getting out of hands. And this IG is just having a field day disrespecting the laws of the land. This IG appears to be acting a script given to him.

Lastly, I just pity this old man (senate president david mark). Historically, when Jona causes trouble that he can't handle again, he turns to †ђξ senate president to help him intervene. Yet, †ђξ boss himself won't stop causing more trouble. Mark was able to intervene in fuel subsidy saga, ASUU saga, NMA, etc..... I hope he will still be able to help the boss to clean his pampers in this case too

sitrep says it is now "shoot at sight".

spenca:

We must all care about the competency and patriotism of the next president and vice president, not their religious and ethnic backgrounds!

If the election is not rigged and Buhari loses, then Nigerians are not ready for deliverance from poverty caused by corruption at the top.

The fish rots from the head.
