Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu yesterday briefed Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on the invasion of the Senate by suspected thugs.

Addressing State House House correspondents later, Ekweremadu said he was at the Presidential Villa to brief Osinbajo on the incident because President Muhammadu Buhari was not around.

He said Osinbajo sympathized with the Senate and “he is going to join forces with us to ensure that we get to the root of the matter to make sure that this will not happen again.”

“It was appropriate for him to know what transpired because we run a democracy, we are all in one government and it is the responsibility of the President or the Vice President to ensure law and order in the country, and once we have this kind of major development, it is important that he is briefed at the earliest opportunity.

“The Senate President is out of the country. It is therefore my responsibility to come over and brief the Vice President. 

“All we need to do as a country is to ensure that this is forestalled, and I want to appeal to the media to help us discourage this kind of brigandage so that people have to behave in a very responsible manner. 

 Ekweremadu said it was a breach of law for Senator Omo-Agege to force himself into the Senate chambers.

“Police is still investigating, we are going to find out the details of those who aided him to come in and then some of them, I believe, have been arrested and we will get to the root of the matter,” he added.

Senate President Bukola Saraki in a tweet praised the lawmakers for defending democracy.
