Lawmakers order IGP to recognize Tabuwal as speaker

-
Members of the House of Representatives committee on police affairs were on Wednesday afternoon engaged in a heated argument with Inspector General of Police Suleiman Abba over last Thursday's security siege on the National Assembly.
 
The committee had summoned Abba to explain the circumstances that led some of his men to prevent Speaker Aminu Waziri Tambuwal from gaining access into the parliament building and in the process harassed the Speaker as well as other lawmakers.

But at Wednesday’s session, Abba said some thugs tried to gain illegal access into the premises of the federal legislature.

However, the lawmakers were angry when Abba refused to recognise Tambuwal as Speaker and demanded him to revert his position. The session got heated as the lawmakers took turn to rebuff the IGP.

Whenever he needs to lodge money into his account, there is no way to do that, but finally, he had an agreement with the ECOBANK in the town. One of the ECOBANK staff would receive the amount to be lodged in cash, then transfer the amount to his GTB account. This has been the way since he gets to that town.

He noticed it first when he went to Asaba and tried to withdraw with his ATM and it declined. So, he went to the...
