Unidentified persons on Wednesday invaded the Senate Chambers inside Nigeria’s National Assembly Complex – one of Nigeria’s most protected buildings and disrupted the ongoing proceedings.

The invaders snatched the mace and took it away.

Reports say the men are supporters of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege who was suspended last week.

However, there is heightened security at the National Assembly and the Senate has gone into a closed-door session.

More to come…
