Commotion as armed men storm Anambra Assembly, try to whisk away member-elect


8 June 2023 


Four armed men believed to be operatives of Department of State Services (DSS) on Thursday stormed the Anambra State House of Assembly, Awka, in three vehicles and made an attempt to whisk away the lawmaker-elect for Nnewi North constituency, Mr Onyekachukwu Ike.


Information has it the incident caused panic at the legislative complex headquarters for over an hour.


According to an eyewitness, “There was panic at the Anambra State House of Assembly as four armed men suspected to be operatives of Directorate of Security Services (DSS) tried to whisk away member-elect for Nnewi North constituency, Mr Onyekachukwu Ike.


“The armed men drove into the Assembly complex in three vehicles and grabbed the member-elect after he participated in a valedictory thanksgiving service for the seventh Assembly.


“They bundled the member-elect into their vehicle and were trying to drive out of the Assembly complex when security personnel quickly blocked and locked the exit gate of the chamber.”


Speaking, on the incident, the Acting Clerk of the Assembly, Mrs Esther Aneto, and other senior staff said the suspected DSS operatives did not inform them or even the police personnel before trying to whisk away the lawmaker-elect.


A source said: “One of the suspected DSS operatives explained that they had a court order to arrest the member-elect for Nnewi North constituency.


“It took the intervention of the Speaker, Dr Uche Okafor, and the Deputy Governor, Dr Onyeka Ibezim, who came to represent the governor at the valedictory session of the seventh Assembly, before the member-elect was released.”


Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, said that the matter has been resolved.


“No cause for alarm, it has been resolved. I think it was DSS that was on that mission, but I think everything has been resolved. I was told that the deputy governor and speaker of the house intervened. So, everything was resolved but I don’t know the circumstances surrounding serving him (Ike) invitation.


“Since that place is an institution; with the intervention of the police there and the deputy governor, everything was resolved,” he added

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
