Two senior staff members of the National Assembly, John Nnadi of the Senate Committee on Petroleum (Downstream) and Chris Odoh, a Deputy Director were on Friday manhandled by the operatives of the Department of State Services over failure to show their identification while trying to enter the white house.
White House is the magnificent edifice linking the Senate with the House of Representatives building.
BEYOND AFRICA learnt that trouble started for the duo when the DSS personnel demanded their identification cards before entering the place.
According to an eyewitness, the National Assembly workers were stopped by the security agents for failing to identify themselves.
Infuriated by the boldness of the DSS personnel, the duo tried to force their way in, leading to their rough handling and assault by the security operatives.
In a bid to restore sanity, the Divisional Police Officer in the National Assembly, Alex Annagu and Deputy Clerk to the Senate (Legislative), Mrs Ilobah Isabella, rushed to the scene and appealed to everyone to return to their offices.
