Also an eyewitness who is a staff of the Assembly, she disclosed that the complex has for a long while being left unattended to.

She also revealed that due to deplorable condition of facilities at the complex, snakes freely enter lawmakers’ offices and the hallowed chamber.

She also revealed that on Wednesday afternoon (yesterday), a mysterious snake in one of the offices caused mild drama and apprehension at the Assembly complex when it pursued a lawmaker out of his office.

“Today three snakes fell from the Chamber’s roof when the sitting was about to commence and this made all the lawmakers to run for dear lives.”

“The snakes escaped from the scene, some of the lawmakers were shaking as if they wanted to die.”
