The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio has debunked social media reports alleging that the Department of States Service (DSS) had surrounded the National Assembly complex amidst a potential impeachment threat against principal officers.
The reports said the secret police had taken over all entrances to the assembly complex on Tuesday.
Speaking on the floor of the senate, Akpabio dismissed the reports as “fake news”.
‘We are here, doing our work very peacefully, oblivious of the mischief,’ Akpabio said during plenary on Wednesday.
He cautioned the public to be aware and not adhere to the allegation he described as fake news. He equally jocularly referred the matter to the committee on special duties chaired by Senator Shehu Kaka for further investigation and report back in 24 hours.
