Officers of the Nigeria Police have arrested Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, for leading suspected thugs to steal the mace during plenary earlier today.
The lawmaker, who was suspended by the Senate for 90 days last week, reportedly attended plenary on Wednesday.
The Senate had earlier today in its response to the invasion of the hallowed chamber, tweeted that the hoodlums that stormed the chamber and seized the mace were led by Omo-Agege.
Reports said police officers ushered Omo-Agege from the door of the chamber into a waiting pickup van immediately after the plenary.
It was gathered that the FCT Commissioner of Police, Sadiq Abubakar Bello, personally led a team of officers to the National Assembly and took away the senator.
