Simultaneously, a combined team of Police, DSS, and EFCC also stormed the Apo Legislative Quarters of the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who is expected to preside at the Senate in the absence of Saraki.
The Special Adviser (media) to the deputy senate president, Uche Anichukwu, confirmed the development in a chat with our correspondent.
He said, “The Operatives from the DSS, EFCC and some policemen in their scores have barricaded the residence of Senator Ekweremadu at his Apo legislative quarters.
“He is preparing to preside over the Senate in the absence of the Senate President who has been invited by the police.”
An aide of the Senate President who refused to be quoted said, “The siege is still on as of 8:30am when I got there and I can not even confirm the whereabouts of my boss at the moment.
