Senate Warns Police: Vacate Akwa Ibom House of Assembly or risk 6-month sentence by Naijaalive(m): 1:52pm On Nov 22, 2018


The Senate on Thursday directed the police to vacate the premises of the Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly as well as cease denying legislators access to their chambers.

The issue of closure of the State House of Assembly came up for discussion on the floor of the Senate again, when Senator Bassey Akpan revealed that state lawmakers were still unable to access their chambers.

He said, “Security agents are still there. No legislator has been allowed in or out. We owe the people of Akwa Ibom this responsibility. It is not right. An injury to Akwa Ibom State is an injury to Nigeria.”

Contributing to the issue, Senator Ahmad Kaita said, “If the police vacate the premises, the legislators will go in there with their supporters and create fracas. The police are only there to promote peace. Let us, as a Senate, verify the facts of this issue before taking any action.”

At the end of the debate, which saw Senators Bukola Saraki, Ike Ekweremadu, Bala Na’allah, Sam Anyanwu and others contributing, the Senate resolved to “ask that the police vacate the premises and not prevent the legislators to have access to the chambers.”

The ongoing siege of Akwa Ibom state by the Nigeria Police with connivance of the ruling APC is despicable. We, the entire people of Nigeria condemn it

Ibrahim Idris is the worst IGP in Nigeria's history. The Police that is paid with taxpayers' money that's supposed to be neutral but unfortunately they're protecting APC thugs to cause mayhem in Akwa Ibom State.

It is so sad that these guys now act with utmost impunity. Majority of Nigerians are not happy with the way our institutions are being destroyed. I'm happy they have very limited time to remain in power

The Police IG is acting on orders from above so the Presidency doesn't care even if the Police succeeds in killing everyone in the state

This APC govt has turned Nigeria upside down! What nonsense? Imagine?? Buhari has taken control of all our security forces and that's too bad for a country that used to be a democratic government under the PDP. God forbid this man is re-elected, I wonder what will become of Nigeria if we give him a 2nd chance when he has nothing to loose. Take back Nigeria!!

We are no longer practicing democracy in Nigeria.

The level of impunity going now in this Buhari/APC regime is mind boggling.

And they are now planning on taking us to the next level...
