Reports indicate that the Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba has been summoned by the Presidency to brief it on issues surrounding the fracas which occurred on Thursday at the Nation Assembly grounds in Abuja.

Abba wasto the office of the Vice President, Namadi Sambo ostensibly to give a detailed account of the incident which happened yesterday.

Several lawmakers were yesterday force to scale the NASS complex gate after being tear-gassed by security operatives.

Abba later emerged from the meeting clearly determined not to answer questions from journalists.

The encounter is as follows:

Did you authorise the invasion of the National Assembly by your men?

IGP: “Who did what and who didn’t do what will be disclosed to you later. You know we work with investigations, investigations are going on and the press officer will address you.”

Are you saying you are not aware of this operation?

IGP: “I still repeat who did what, who didn’t do what you will hear later, it is subject to investigations. We just don’t talk anyhow.”

Another interview with the Hausa service at the State House follows:

Is it true that some of your police officers were injured?

IGP: “Everybody has seen that somebody was even beating somebody, somebody was pushing a policeman from the car.

“Somebody was removing road blocks mounted by police, we have never seen this kind of thing in the whole world. So we will talk to you later.”

What action are you going to take?

IGP: “Just wait, our findings will reveal.”
