Reports reaching Fidelis Chidi Blog from Abuja have it that officials of the
Department of State Security Services, (DSS), the Police as well as the
Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday morning laid
siege to the residence of the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike
Ekweremadu in Abuja.
This is coming also after the Senate President, Bukola Saraki’s home
was locked down by police officers and his convoy prevented from leaving
the premises to attend to the invitation by the Inspector General of
Police, Idris K. Ibrahim.
The reason behind their action is unclear at the moment as the officials have reportedly prevented the lawmakers from going out.
Confirming the development, Publicity Secretary of the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, Kola Ologbodiyan wondered why the security
operatives were after the lawmakers.
He tweeted, “Security operatives block Deputy Senate President, Ike
Ekweremadu,’s residence in Apo, Abuja… Senate President Bukola Saraki
already invited by the Police by 8am… Is this a democracy?”
