Speaker of the House of Reps Aminu Tambuwal has finally gained access
into the House Chamber. There was chaos outside the Assembly complex
this morning as police tried to prevent him and other lawmakers from
entering the complex. Some had to scale the gates after all entry points
were sealed off leaving only one open where many were thoroughly
frisked and some turned back. There are allegations that most of the
lawmakers turned back were from the APC. The police at some point even
fired teargas and some lawmakers reportedly fainted.
Tambuwal, who had been prevented from driving through the second gate
after passing through the first gate of the Assembly complex was
smuggled into the Chamber by loyalists who overpowered security
operatives at the second and third gate. The House has now gone into
executive session.
