SHAME OF A NATION CALLED NIGERIA: Security agents lock out Tambuwal, throw teargas inside chambers






tambuSecurity agents on Thursday locked out the embattled Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, as he made to enter the National Assembly.

Also affected by the lock out were other lawmakers, including senators and members of the House of Representatives.
However, Tambuwal abandoned his vehicle after several minutes and walked the distance from the gate to the chambers.
Other lawmakers did the same.
But as the lawmakers were entering the chambers, policemen released teargas, throwing the arena into confusion.
Lawmakers, journalists and workers of the National Assembly scampered for safety.
Tambuwal was the target of attack of the policemen who released the teargas.
He took to his heels as the teargas was released.
Tambuwal had been at loggerheads with the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party after he defected to the opposition All Progressives Congress.
He had initially adjourned the sitting of the House till December 3, but reconvened for the consideration of the request for the extension of emergency rule by President Goodluck Jonathan.http://theeagleonline.com.ng/security-agents-lock-out-tambuwal-throw-teargas-inside-chambers/
