Senator Ovie Omo-Agege
Senator Ovie Omo-Agege (APC-Delta Central) on Monday appeared before the joint Senate and House of Representatives ad-hoc committee set up to investigate the invasion and mace theft at the Senate chamber on April 18, 2018.
Recall that the committee had last week invited Omo-Agege and Senator Ali Ndume over their alleged roles in the attack on the Senate.
Omo-Agege, on Monday, however dragged the National Assembly to court to stop the investigation.
Chairman of the committee, Senator Bala Ibn Na’Allah, while announcing the summons last Tuesday, had noted that testimonies given by various security personnel at the National Assembly Complex before the panel had implicated Omo-Agege and Ndume.
The panel had however shifted the investigate hearing to Tuesday following an extended session held by the Senate last Wednesday for consideration and passage of the 2018 Appropriation Bill.
Ndume had confirmed receipt of the invitation when contacted by reporters last Wednesday and declined further to comment on it.
Omo-Agege had said he would appear before the panel, although he had taken the legal step to stop the probe.
