Reps invite agency’s boss over Ekiti Assembly invasion

This following the alleged invasion of the Ekiti state House of Assembly reportedly by men of the DSS.

Reports say the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara asked the Committee on Public Safety and Intelligence to handle the matter.

The decision was reached after the Reps supported a motion sponsored by the House Minority Leader, Leo Ogor.

Ogor said “It is a clear violation of the provisions of the constitution; it is unacceptable as it demonstrates interference with an arm of government.

“If somebody violates the law and nothing is done, it gives him the privilege to move forward.”

“Therefore, it is important that we summon the Director-General of the DSS to explain where the agency derives its powers to invade and destabilise the activities of the House.

“It is important to respect the rule of law and the sanctity of this institution must remain sacrosanct,” Ogor said.

Following the action of the DSS officers, Governor Ayo Fayose has threatened to kick the security agency out of the state.
