You must have heard of the shameful display by the “honourable”
members of our House of Representatives. A reprehensible act where our elected
representatives scaled through the fence like common criminals. I weep for us all.
Why the blockade?
The Nigeria Police Force has said the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, was blocked from entering the National
Assembly, Thursday, so as to forestall the breakdown of law and order based
on an intelligence report of the invasion of the National Assembly by hoodlums
Read the statement from NPF:
“Following an intelligence report of a likely invasion of the
House of Representatives by hoodlums and thugs, the Nigeria Police Force
promptly deployed its personnel to the premises to prevent a breakdown of law
and order.
Consequently, the Police condoned the area and began
screening of all members and visitors alike.
In the course of this lawful exercise, Alh. Aminu Tambuwal
CFR, arrived the venue with a motley crowd, who broke the cordon, assaulted the
Police and evaded due process and the Police had the duty to restore order and
normalcy, using lawful means.
The IGP seizes this medium to warn all political actors and
their followers to respect constituted authority and due process and to desist
from the use of thugs to pursue their agenda.
The Nigeria Police shall continually apply all lawful means
to prevent a breakdown of law and order in all segments of the society and
shall apply the full weight of the law on any political actor who violates the
peace and security of the nation.
