Senator representing Delta State Constituency, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege faced the Senate committee investigating the invasion of the National Assembly and theft of the Senate Mace.

The Senator on Tuesday appeared before the committee to answer questions about the recent invasion by alleged hoodlums which occurred recently at the National Assembly.

Recall that, before the invasion of the Senate Chambers, the lawmaker was suspended for 90 legislative after accusing his colleagues of working against President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election plans in 2019.

The Senator made the accusation after his colleagues adopted the amendment to section 25 of Electoral Act outlining a change in the sequence of elections.

During today’s investigation, the Senator insisted that he cannot answer questions from the committee because the matter is in court and discussing it will amount to sub-judice.
