“I thank the Acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, for his handling of the situation we were all confronted with yesterday.
“His decisive action went a long way towards restoring confidence,” the Senate President said.
According to Mr Saraki, the total lockdown of the National Assembly on Tuesday by the Operatives SSS was meant to impeach him illegally.

He called for a total investigation into the illegality perpetrated at the National Assembly by the Operatives of the DSS and brought those found wanting to be severely sanctioned to prevention the future occurrence of the show of shame and threat to the nation’s democracy.
