Senate orders investigation into invasion of Ekiti Assembly by DSS

The Senate on Wednesday directed its Committee on National Security and National Intelligence to conduct an investigation into the immediate and remote causes of the invasion of the Ekiti State House of Assembly by operatives of the Department of State Services and report back in two weeks.

The Senate’s decision was sequel to a motion sponsored by Senator Biodun Olujimi (PDP-Ekiti), who described the action of the DSS as barbaric.

Olujimi said: “This action is not only unconstitutional, illegal and unlawful, but a plot to harass intimidate and embarrass the people and government of Ekiti State.”

Speaking in support of the motion, the Senate Leader, Ali Ndume, said what happened in the Ekiti State House of Assembly was wrong.
