The
National Assembly complex in the Federal Capital Territory has been
shut down by security operatives, causing a stir in the area.
The National Assembly
Security operatives have shut down the National Assembly, Abuja.
Daily Post reports that the decision to shut the complex might not
be unconnected with the preparations ahead of President Muhammadu
Buhari’s anticipated visit to the National Assembly today to present the
estimates of the 2017 budget to a joint assembly.
Meanwhile, Buhari is currently in the Gambia and it is not clear if he would be able to meet the scheduled 12pm appointment.
It was gathered that members of staff have been denied access and
all other organisations rendering services within the complex have been
shut out.
Long queues of vehicles and crowds of anxious people are noticed along the entry points at the time of this report.
