Suspected hoodlums have broken into the Ogun State House of Assembly and carted away the Mace, the symbol of legislative authority.
The hoodlums reportedly broke into the Assembly at Okemosan through the ceiling in the early hours of Thursday and made away with the Mace.
They reportedly gained access into the office of the Speaker, Olakunle Oluomo, where the mace was kept.
A source told journalist who were not allowed into the complex that the incident was the second in the last three weeks.
An officer of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) who spoke with journalists said “We don’t want to see journalists here today. We are not entertaining visitors today.
“There was an order from the clerk that we shouldn’t allow any journalists to enter the Assembly complex today.
“After all, you have always had unfettered access into the complex. But today, we have been given an order not to allow any journalists into the premises.”
