Why police invaded my residence, Ekweremadu’s – Saraki [VIDEO]
his residence, that almost stopped him from presiding over Tuesday's
plenary session.
Saraki's home was locked down by police officers and his convoy
prevented from leaving the premises, to attend to the invitation by
the Inspector General of Police, Idris Ibrahim.
Officials of the Department of State Security Services, (DSS), the
Police as well as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),
have also laid siege to Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu's
residence.
The Senate President also explained that Ekweremadu could not be
present, because "he cannot get out of his house".
According to him, the policemen were sent to their respective homes,
because some lawmakers planned to dump the All Progressives Congress
(APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
"DSP is absent. He cannot get out of his house. He is being held under seige.
"This morning I could not also leave my street as well because some
people believed today's seating must not hold because some members
want to move or defect," Saraki said.
A total of 15 Senators eventually cross-carpeted to the PDP, before
the Senate proceedings was adjourned until September 26.
