suspected thugs, carting away the mace.<\/p>\n<p>He was said to have sneaked in through one of the glass barricades within the national assembly before the mace was seized with the support of the men who accompanied him.<\/p>\n<p>Security operatives ran to the senator and the \u201cthugs\u201d to get hold of the mace but were unsuccessful.<\/p>\n<p>There is a serious uproar within the national assembly at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the sitting has commenced, Ike Ekweremadu, depute senate president, raised an alarm that some persons had invaded the senate.<\/p>\n<p>The light also went off amid the confusion but was restored shortly after<\/p>\n<p>Security operatives then ran towards where the mace was kept but the senator and those he had came with had already lifted the instrument.<\/p>\n<p>Amid the uproar, they overpowered the national assembly security and ran outside into waiting vehicles numbering three, including two jeeps.<\/p>\n<p>They immediately drove away and were said to have left through the gate behind the national assembly<\/p>\n<p>It is still unclear how the senator made his way into the chambers despite being suspended but The Cable learnt he was permitted entrance by the seargent-at-arms at the entrance door.<\/p>\n<p>The Cable also learnt that the clerk of the national assembly has summoned the divisional police officer to explain how the senator made his way into the chambers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was a mild drama at the senate on Wednesday after Ovie Omo-Agege,
