The Senate has accused the suspended Senator Ovie Omo-Agege (APC, Delta) of leading thugs to steal mace, the symbol of authority of the Senate.

Recall that Omo-Agege was suspended last Thursday over his remark on the reordered election sequence.

Spokesperson of the Senate, Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi (APC, Niger) in a statement said: "Today, some armed hoodlums led by suspended Senator, Ovie Omo-Agege, walked into the Senate plenary and seized the symbol of authority of the Upper Legislative Chamber, the mace.

"This action is an act of treason, as it is an attempt to overthrow a branch of the Federal Government of Nigeria by force, and it must be treated as such. All Security agencies must stand on the side of due process and immediately mobilize their personnel to retrieve the mace and apprehend the mastermind and the perpetrators of this act.

"This action is also an affront on the legislature, and the Leadership of the House has come to express their support against this action".
