Nigerians have taken to their social media account to slam operatives of the Department of State Services for invading the National Assembly, describing it as a coup.
The DSS operatives sealed off the National Assembly and – according to reports – barred lawmakers from the Peoples Democratic Party from entering.
Apart from describing the security agents act as a coup, Nigerians also called out the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, who is a pastor at the Redeemed Christain Church of God, for allowing such to occur under his watch.

Wuzup Naija recalls that Osinbajo is the acting president as President Muhammadu Buhari is currently on a 10-day vacation in London.
The lawmakers were, however, later allowed into the Assembly.
IT’S A COUP GOING ON AT THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY!!!

The National Assembly is the symbol of democracy what ever it is politicians want to do they shouldn’t destroy our institutions.
The DSS shouldn’t provoke Nigerians to take to the streets they may not be able to contain the situation.
Mr Buhari should call his men to Oder.

A lady senator this morning at National Assembly: “Is Vice President Prof Osibanjo a Christian? Someone that sold his soul to the devil for crumbs.”
A man by her side responds: “He’s not a Christian, he’s a pastor.”

The madness displayed at the National Assembly this morning has further stripped PYO of his much talked professor of law. Under him, this impunity reigns, and we must ask questions @ProfOsinbajo@AjayiOlawande@arakunrinajos@CitizenTosin@yemifas000

The handlers of this current democratic dispensation don’t have the interest and well-being of Nigeria in focus, the military style of events currently rocking the National Assembly shows that democracy has taken a back seat, rascality has become the order of the day.

DSS blocking the entrance of the National Assembly is for what purpose?
Those this government know the level of economic crisis they’ve plunged Nigerians into?
Must they hold onto power by all means?
This is an attack against our democracy, this tyrants must leave by 2019
