| Workers at the three arms zone |
The inauguration of the Presiding
officers of the 8th assembly has thrown the entire three arms zone comprising
the presidency, the Supreme Court (Judiciary) and the National Assembly into
serious pandemonium following the blocking of roads leading to the secretariat
by the armed security personnel.
Staff at the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and security
personnel drafted to barricade clashed because they were stopped from going
into their various offices.
It was gathered that the sudden
decision of security operatives to barricade all entrances leading to the
National Assembly Complex was intended to prevent elections for the highest
offices of both chamber from holding.
Although people had been accredited
for the event, the security operatives asked everyone to turn back despite
showing their tags at the entrances.
Entrances leading to the National
Assembly were blocked by a combined team of men of the Nigeria Police Force and
Department of State Security (DSS).
As early as 6am, all entrances had
been blocked, with security officials who craved anonymity declaring that they
were acting on orders from above.
