National Assembly

Two senior staff of the National Assembly were in the early hours of Friday brutalized by operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, for allegedly not properly identifying themselves at the second gate of the Complex.

The staff, Chris Odoh, a Deputy Director, and John Nnadi, of the Senate Committee on Petroleum , ran into trouble with the DSS operatives who have been drafted to man the entire National Assembly Complex, at about 11:45 am, when they were asked to identify themselves at the gate. The DSS officers claimed that the staff could not properly identify themselves but 'just flashed their identity card at the gate'.

Miffed by the embarrassing scene, staff of the National Assembly from various offices at the White House, including the Mace Bearer in the Senate, spontaneously gathered at the front of the DSS office to demand the immediate release of the two staff.
