Extraordinary Scenes inside Nigeria National Assembly

The Nigerian Police Force have released extraordinary video of the scenes inside the National Assembly earlier this week when Politicians and Police clashed.

Chaos ensued after Nigerian Representatives sought access into the National Assembly but were blocked by the police in riot gear and who then fired tear gas in the government compound. The video shows Politicians shouting at the Nigerian police and also other politicians inside the chambers, including the Senate President, David Mark.

The police released the video as part of their campaign to justify their actions, and released this statement with the video:

“IS THERE ANY JUSTIFICATION FOR THESE?”

– Why would anyone use a car to shove/push a uniformed Policeman performing his lawful duty? (04:26)
– Why would any group of persons rough-handle a uniformed Policeman performing his lawful duty and also refuse to submit to security screening into a Government building? (04:52)
– Why would any group of persons destroy Government property paid for with tax payers’ money? (08:00)

NOTE: Please listen carefully to all the ungentlemanly utterances in this video.

But members of the main opposition party, the APC, have decried the police actions as undemocratic. Nasir El Rufai described the police as ”….Jonathanian Police We Hail Thee…..”.
