Mark shuts down National Assembly over security invasion

Following Thursday’s invasion of the National Assembly by security agents, Senate President and chairman of the National Assembly, David Mark, has shut down the federal parliament.
The pandemonium reached a climax when Mark, speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, alongside other members of the National Assembly, journalists and staff of the federal parliament were tear-gassed by security agents.
Consequently,
while Tambawal forced his way through the small gate, other lawmakers who accompanied him scaled over the gate.
He condemned the application of maximum force on legislators and civil servants who were in their respective offices to do their duties.
