Mark Orders Closure Of National Assembly

Senate President, David Mark, on Thursday, announced the closure of the National Assembly with immediate effect.

This followed the crisis that broke out at the Assembly on Thursday morning when the Speaker of House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, and some other lawmakers were denied access into the Assembly complex.
Mark is the Chairman of the National Assembly.

Our reporter was informed by reliable sources that after Tambuwal was smuggled into the National Assembly complex by his colleagues, Mark met with him over the embarrassment meted out on him by the overzealous security operatives, who barricaded the Assembly complex.
The complex would be opened next Tuesday.
