The Senate and House of Representatives joint adhoc committee investigating the April 18 Senate invasion has summoned two senators.


Ovie Omo-Agege (APC, Delta) and Ali Ndume (APC, Borno) were summoned for allegedly aiding the invaders who stole the Senate mace.


The mace was later recovered by the police, who say they are still investigating the incident.


The chairman of the investigating committee, Bala Ibn Na’Allah, issued the summon at the committee meeting in Abuja on Tuesday.


The summon follows testimonies from heads of different security agencies within the National Assembly alleging that Mr Omo-Agege led seven unauthorised personnel into the red chamber and disrupted plenary.


It was also alleged that Mr Ndume hindered the mace keeper from taking away the mace to safety.


“Based on the testimony of the sergeant at arms before the committee, you (Mr Ndume) are alleged to have prevented the mace keeper from taking away the mace to safety.


“The committee has, therefore, deemed it necessary to invite you in order to respond to that allegation.


“As regards to Omo-Agege, based on the testimony of the DPO, the SSS and the sergeant at arms, you are alleged to have entered the National Assembly accompanied by seven persons who allegedly took the mace of the Senate during plenary session on April 18, at about 11:30 a.m.


“All those who testified, stated that the said people were cleared into the chamber based on your confirmation that they were with you.


“The committee,in pursuance of this,has deemed it necessary to formally invite you to respond to these allegations on Wednesday, May 16 at 11:00am,” Mr Na’Allah read out the format of the letter to be issued to the summoned lawmakers.


Last week, the National Assembly Divisional Police Officer, Sulu-Gambari Abdul, accused the lawmakers of conspiring with thugs who invaded the Senate chamber and took away the mace last month.


Mr Sulu-Gambari said the Senate invasion was an act of internal conspiracy among some security agencies and some lawmakers, confirming an earlier PREMIUM TIMES report that revealed the complicity of security agencies in the invasion.


The Senate invasion was condemned by most Nigerians including the federal government. The two chambers of the National Assembly subsequently set up a joint committee to investigate the incident.

I see ndume going for a long time.

Omo-Agege is the boss, Saraki can't do shiit to him.

Which police and sss testified. Is it saraki sss or buhari sss .

We shall see

I wonder if a senator punches another senator,shouldn't there be a mechanism to punish him,just like that suspension?
Should d same person still be strutting around in d chambers in the name of "he is representing a constituency"?
What if d same person repeats d same offence d next day?

This show of infamy need to be thoroughly investigated & punished accordingly.

In saner climes omo agege ,ndume and cohorts should be in jail for treason after raping democracy but what can be done when you have a supposed president of a nation who disobeys court order at will and destroys the basic tenets of democracy in semblance to a babaric society.

Scene 2, part 1.

No CCTV footage?

No wonder Omo-Age refused showing up today. He knew what was waiting for him

Bubu's government has turned the senate to an irrelevant boys scout club. Summons are ignored and nothing happens, senators are hounded and arrested and arraigned in court in stretchers and nothing happens. Therefore, nothing will happen to agege bread

Royal rumble or legislative rumble

Mace runner

These people get mind oo. They will be asking them questions with fear.

Nd saraki nd his cohorts shud be where for suspending a lawmaker representing his people because he made opposing views?

This comment of yours shows how useless you have become on this forum.

Defending a man who came in with thugs to steal the mace,your level of zobiesm is of the highest order.

he was suspended on the majority votes of the senate and by their house rules which he could contest in court and not taking laws as treason in his hands.
What he has done is not just condemnable but a huge disgrace and insult on buhari that is if he has any integrity at all,it goes on to show the world that the style of govt being run in Nigeria is a big joke which shouldn't be taken serious.

Them don start another journey that will end in futile effort.

They’ve turned that chamber to house of *summon*.

May God save this country of different dramas on daily basis.

Obviously, you dont see anything wrong in invading the NASS by thugs, carting away the mace thus nobody should be held accountable.

Well, good luck with that.

That's why you will never get it right , the same way you praised and compared PMB 3yrs led Govt to GEJ and PDP 16 yes.

Another summon, buhari boys don't know what a summon means oo, omo agege be watching them from his sitting room and be telling his boys 'them go wait tire '.....

I think Ndume is wiser now, that he can be suspended more than 14 days, Omo Mushin is an eye opener.

Wetin she dey her brain to talk.

House of Summons

Omo agege pass saraki
