Acting President Yemi Osinbajo says the presidency is not in the know of the siege laid to the NASS by operatives of the Department of State Services
Acting President Yemi Osinbajo says the presidency is not in the know of the siege laid to the NASS by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS). In a statement signed by Laolu Akande, media aide to the acting president, Osinbajo said those who participated in the “travesty” would be identified and “subjected to appropriate disciplinary action”.
“The unlawful act which was done without the knowledge of the presidency is condemnable and completely unacceptable. Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has described the unauthorised takeover of the national assembly complex earlier today as a gross violation of constitutional order, rule of law and all accepted notions of law and order. By this statement, Professor Osinbajo is consequently assuring Nigerians that all persons within the law enforcement apparatus who participated in this travesty will be identified and subjected to appropriate disciplinary action.”
Meanwhile, Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police, has said his men were not involved in the siege on the NASS.
