Sen. Omo Agege (m) being led out of the chamber shortly after his arrest by FCT Commissioner of Police.
The Suspended Senator Omo Agege arrested by the FCT CP At 1.57 pm today.
Its will be recalled that the Senate plenary earlier today was disrupted and suspended after suspected thugs invaded the chamber and made away with the maze.
The incident happened few seconds after a suspended senator, Ovie Omo-Agege representating Delta Central entered the chamber.
Our reporter observed that about 10 suspected thugs who came to the venue with the senator forced their entrance into the chamber.
Seconds later, the thugs ran out of the chamber with the maze causing pandemonium in the Senate.
They left the National Assembly with the maze in a black SUV.
The maze is the symbol of authority of the parliament.
One of the security personnel at the entrance of the National Assembly said the thugs told him and other officers they were with the senator.
“We tired to stop them but they told us they were with him (Omo-Agege),” he said.
The senators have since reconvened.
