State Security Service, SSS, personnel have reportedly stormed the National Assembly ahead of a crucial House of Representatives sitting today,
It is alleged that tyhis take over by security officers is an attempt to keep former speaker Mr. Tambuwal from gaining entrance into the building.
Earlier this week it will be recalled that Tambuwal pulled out from the Action Party Congress (APC) presidential content, Tambuwal was also a former People’s Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart; a move that reportedly ruffled feathers in the PDP camp.
According to reports the speaker adjourned the House shortly after his defection on October 28, and announced a resumption schedule for December in what was believed an attempt to frustrate any move by his former party to unseat him.
The PDP has the majority in the House.
The House announced this week it will reconvene Thursday to discuss President Goodluck Jonathan’s request to extend emergency rule in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States, where Boko Haram attacks have intensified.
