The Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, is currently holding a Press Conference to address yesterday’s invasion of the National Assembly by armed operatives of the DSS.

Angered by what many called ‘a failed democratic coup’ that took place at the national assembly yesterday, wherein men of the State Security Service, DSS stormed NASS premises and denied access to senators and house of representatives members to the hollowed chamber, the senator representing Bayelsa east, Ben Murray-Bruce, Monday insisted that Lawal Daura, the sacked DSS DG was sponsored by someone.

Who gave sacked Director-General of the Department of States Services, DSS, Lawal Daura the order to invade the National Assembly and deny lawmakers access into their chambers? Who is the famed “order from above” that one of the DSS operatives quoted to have given the order?

The All Progressives Congress APC said it has investigated the circumstances surrounding Tuesday’s invasion of the National Assembly by security operatives, and accused the Senate President, Bukola Saraki of sponsoring the plot to foment violence as part of his last-minute bid to halt his impeachment.

Youths, on the platform of Benue Youths Forum, BYF, have raised the alarm over a purported plot to kidnap the Clerk of Benue State House of Assembly, Dr. Torese Agena, to compel him into arranging a sitting of the suspended eight members of the House to commence impeachment move against Governor Samuel Ortom.
