The Senate plenary was on Wednesday disrupted after suspected thugs invaded the chamber and made away with the mace. The mace serves as the chamber symbol of authority.

Some louts who followed Senator Ovie Omo-Agege to the venue force their way to the chamber and took away the Mace. They left the National Assembly with the mace in a black SUV.

The police have however on Wednesday afternoon arrested suspended senator, Ovie Omo-Agege, at the National Assembly premises.

Mr Omo-Agege after the incident returned to the Senate chamber where he attended the plenary session.
