SAN FRANCISCO, May 02, (THEWILL) – An unusual tight security situation has been noticed in the National Assembly, especially around the Senate Chamber and the Foya, with masked security men taking over the place.
Journalists reporting from the assembly resumed on Wednesday to see masked security men, bearing guns being deployed to the National Assembly.
Across all entry points to the National Assembly, policemen were seen mounting surveillance, just as a truck of Guards Brigade, Police Armoured tanks and vehicles were stationed at the entrance of the National Assembly.
Meanwhile, Senators, based on the Order paper, are scheduled to discuss the purchase of war planes from the United States and the appearance of the arrival of the Inspector – General of Police, IGP, Ibrahim Idris over the arrest of Senator Dino Melaye (APC, Kogi) and the killings in some parts of the country in line with the Order Paper.
Perhaps, the tight security situation may be to avert a recurrence of what happened last week where some thugs stormed the Senate hallowed Chamber and went away with the Mace.
