I gave my belt to be used as mace – Shehu Sani

The senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, on
Wednesday said he gave his waist belt to serve as a mace for
senators to continue plenary after thugs invaded the chamber and
made away with the mace.

Senate plenary on Wednesday was disrupted after suspended
senator, Ovie Omo-Agege, stormed the chamber in company of
suspected thugs who stole the mace.

Narrating what transpired before a new mace was brought into the
chamber in a Facebook post, Mr Sani wrote, “The Senate invaded.
Mace taken away. Deliberations on whether to adjoined or not. I and
others insisted that the Senate must not adjoin.

“I removed my waist Belt and lay to serve as a mace for us to
continue. My colleagues seconded. Then a spare mace brought in and
the session continued. Good Drivers are not known when the road is
smooth.”

Mr Omo-Agege who was accused of leading thugs to snatch the
Senate mace was arrested by the police shortly after the
plenary.
