Following the National Assembly siege by the Department of State Security Service, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has called for an independent judicial panel of inquiry to unravel the hands behind the ugly scene last Tuesday.

 

It would be recalled that the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, had in a swift reaction to the invasion, sacked the Director General of the Operatives, Lawal Daura, for what the presidency claimed no knowledge about and unauthorised.

 

Saraki made this known in his personal tweeter handle, said: “The very serious questions about last Tuesday’s siege on the National Assembly can only be answered through a thorough and neutral investigation.

 

“I call on Mr. President to immediately institute an independent judicial panel of inquiry to look into that assault on our democracy.”

 

In a related development, the Senate President and his counterpart in the House of Representative, Hon. Yakubu Dogara have given reasons why the National Assembly may not reconvene any moment soon.

 

This came in a joint statement issued on Tuesday morning admitted that there were proposals to reconvene, to deliberate on the reports of the Joint Committees on Electoral Matters arising from interactions with officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)

 

The presiding officers, however, said that the meetings have not taken place and that many legislators have also gone on Hajj, making the prospects for reconvening improbable. They said.
