We are expecting the service chiefs who have been recommended for sack by NASS to Immediately arrest the hoodlums and the Mastermind of this Dastardly ACT. The IGP is expected to relocate to NASS until tension is curbed.

We are disappointed in y'all.
You have disgraced and embarrassed us as a country and God will surely see to it that you answer for your sins. This is the height of your incompetence and unworthiness of whatever Nigerians have given you to enjoy.
SHAME ON Y'ALL.

This is smelling and nauseating news. If this mace is so sacred, how is it so easy to steal? And you have the guts to announce it. Shameless much?

Nothing dey happen, this is the result of injustice.
@bukolasaraki a PDP senator in disguise with his cabals are behaving like double senators. Saraki and supporters are untouchable and keep suspending anyone that has a different view from his and subduing other senators.
