– Four legislators missed after the raid
The operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS) have allegedly invaded the assembly complex in Ekiti state, shooting sporadically and sending everyone into panic.
Kola Oluwawole, the speaker of the assembly, has said that members were in their different duty posts in the house when the DSS men stormed the complex.

He said: “Not minding that various committees of the House were meeting, more than 10 DSS men who were armed to the teeth invaded the Assembly Complex, shooting sporadically into the air, thereby causing panic among members and staff of the House of Assembly, who had to scamper for safety.
“At the end of the commotion created by this barbaric act, we discovered that four of our members could not be found.
“It was only this morning that we were able to establish that Hon Afolabi Akanni, representing Efon Constituency was abducted and taken to Abuja. Whereabouts of three other members is still unknown as we speak, and reasons for the invasion and abduction of our members are not known.”
The house blamed President Muhammadu Buhari and his ruling party of being behind the alleged invasion, saying “we got it on good authority that the script now being acted by the DSS is part of the APC and President Buhari’s clandestine plot to cripple the Ekiti state government by arresting and detaining top functionaries of the government.”
