The Inspector General of Police, Abba Sulaiman has order the immediate arrest of Speaker of the House of Representatives Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal. Daily Trust reports that a similar order has been handed down to the Department of State Security (DSS).
This is coming barely 24 after the members of the House of Representatives were clashed with some security personnel at the National Assembly complex on Thursday.
Sources at the Police headquarters revealed that the Police chief gave the order for Tambuwal arrest after a meeting with Vice President Namadi Sambo and the National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki.
“I can confirm to you that the order for his arrest has been given today (Friday). The signal from the IG’s office specifically directed the FCT and Sokoto State commissioners of Police to serve Tambuwal with notice of invitation to the force headquarters and if he resists, he should be arrested immediately,” the source revealed.
“The involvement of the Sokoto CP was because the Speaker was sighted in Sokoto on Friday where he picked the All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship form for the coming elections. It was assumed that he was out of Abuja as such other police divisions were involved in the matter.”
Sources at the meeting in the Villa indicate that both the Vice President and the NSA chastised the Police boss for the failure of his men to prevent Speaker from entering the National Assembly premises.
“The NSA was particularly angry and told the IG in clear terms that he doesn’t know his job. He said how did the Speaker and the members break a cordon organised by the FCT Police commissioner. The NSA then made it clear that the Police authorities must rectify the anomalies or they will face the consequences. The IG then said Tambuwal will be arrested for questioning.”Dailypostng reportage

If true then the country is about witnessing the begining of the end of a nation and some leading economy country in Europe and America would be happy their prediction and expectation is being played out. What a shame!

APC must stop planting members for trouble in the Country, especially these young Hons. who never witnessed the Nigerian civil war. DSS should stop all politicians from sending their families/children abroad. Let every body remain here & face it.

The Bible says pass through the narrow door, he who enters through other means is a thief and a robber. If I were the one on duty when Tambuwal scaled the fence I would have shot him because its a criminal ofence. If you doubt it ask the worse court in naija.

The thief and rouge called Jonadaft is dancing his last dance. The shoeless mumu who has suddenly became the richest man is Africa is desperate to stay in power so he will be ferrying billions of dollars in jets all over the world to hide. Kudos for Tambuwal and his brave guys for frustrating the evil plots of these criminals by their gallant act. Let these cultists in PDP try another trick. This one has woefully failed!

The Office of the National Security Adviser has described as “unfair and a total falsehood” reports that the National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, has ordered the arrest of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal.
In a statement Saturday that did not refer to Mr. Tambuwal as Speaker, Mr. Dasuki’s office denied that a directive was given for Mr. Tambuwal’s arrest at a meeting with Vice President Namadi Sambo and the Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba.
“We therefore urge the media to always cross-check their stories before going to the press.” The Inspector General of Police had also on Saturday denied giving an order for the arrest of Mr. Tambuwal.
