DSS Blocks National Assembly’s Entry, Exit; As Senators Move To Impeach Saraki

Officers of the Department of State Services have blocked all entry or exit from the National Assembly in Abuja in a perceived bid to aid pro-Buhari Senators impeach Senate President Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu.

Members of the House of Representatives and staff of the National Assembly are being turned back.

A serving Senator, Senator Rafiu Ibrahim was at 7:10am denied access into his office by the DSS.

He was said to have asked the DSS officials “Has the military taken over?. But the operatives provide no response.”

It was learnt that some 30 pro-Buhari Senators had a meeting overnight with the director general of the SSS, Lawan Daura, to plot the impeachment.

It was also gathered that the senators have planned to elect the senate leader, Ahmed Lawan, as Senate President and Hope Uzodinma as his deputy. Some lawmakers had in past few days insisted Senate President, Bukola Saraki, quit his position having defected from the majority party.
