Blocked APC Lawmakers Jump Gate into National Assembly

Earlier on today, several members of the House of
Representatives had to scale locked gates to gain access to
the National Assembly complex in Abuja after they were
stopped by security agents. Some 1000 soldiers and
policemen had sealed the entrance of the National Assembly
and physically prevented the Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal,
from entering, thereby throwing the complex into chaos. At
least 15 members of the All Progressive Congress, APC, had
to scale the gates. Tambuwal, some House of Rep members
were teargassed. Senate President David Mark eventually
had to shut the Assembly down till Nov 25th, next week
Tuesday.
