New York[RR] Abuja–The Inspector General of Police, Abba Sulaiman may have given orders for the arrest of Speaker of the House of Representatives Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, Daily Trust, and other sources reported.

According to Daily Trust,in a piece titled:” Inspector General of Police orders arrest of speaker Tambuwal’, said that: “similar order has been handed down to the Department of State Security (DSS.).The orders were given following the fracas that broke out at the National Assembly on Thursday where members of the House of Representatives were confronted by armed security personnel who threw canisters of teargas at the speaker and other lawmakers to stop them from accessing the parliament building.

However,respected political analyst, Ekong Etuk said Speaker Tambuwal disrespected Nigerian authorities and effort by Northerners to bring down Jonathan administration to its kneels.

His words: “Speaker Tambuwal illegal access to parliamentary building illustrates disrespect for Nigerian authority and all out efforts by Northern Nigerians to bring down President Jonathan. Here is one piece of fact that we know: Tambuwal studied and got a degree in law (Wikipedia, 2014). As evidenced by his above act in quotation, it seems he does not understand the rule of law. What is speaker Tambuwal’s problem? Nigerian president, President Jonathan, is alive and has for many years worked closely with speaker Tambuwal to resolve many issues. Speaker Tambuwal could have presented his problem to President Jonathan to solve. But he did not that and instead embarked on all out effort to start a fight with law enforcement agencies. His main purpose is clear: To show off disrespect for the authority of President Jonathan and wants to do everything to justify the overthrown of Jonathan’s Presidency. That is why I am so happy to learn of his arrest. No one is above the law. And speaker Tambuwal should not be treated any differently..”, he said.

Breaking: Inspector General of Police orders arrest of speaker Tambuwal
The Inspector General of Police, Abba Sulaiman may have given orders for the arrest of Speaker of the House of Representatives Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, Daily Trust has learnt.
Sources told Daily Trust a similar order has been handed down to the Department of State Security (DSS.)
The orders were given following the fracas that broke out at the National Assembly on Thursday where members of the House of Representatives were confronted by armed security personnel who threw canisters of teargas at the speaker and other lawmakers to stop them from accessing the parliament building.
The speaker and some of his colleagues who supported him beat the security cordon and later held a brief plenary thereby stopping some members in their tracks who had gathered protected by scores of Police and DSS operatives to initiate impeachment proceedings against the leadership of the House.
Sources at the Police headquarters revealed that the Police chief gave the order for Tambuwal’s arrest after a meeting with Vice President Namadi Sambo and the National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki.
“I can confirm to you that the order for his arrest has been given today (Friday). The signal from the IG’s office specifically directed the FCT and Sokoto State commissioners of Police to serve Tambuwal with notice of invitation to the force headquarters and if he resists, he should be arrested immediately, “the source revealed.
“The involvement of Sokoto CP was because the Speaker was sighted in Sokoto on Friday where he picked the All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship form for the coming elections. It was assumed that he was out of Abuja as such other police divisions were involved in the matter.”

Sources at the meeting in Villa indicate that both the Vice President and the NSA chastised the Police boss for the failure of his men to prevent Speaker from entering the national assembly premises.
“The NSA was particularly angry and told the IG in clear terms that he doesn’t know his job. He said how did the Speaker and the members break a cordon organised by the FCT Police commissioner. The NSA then made it clear that the Police authorities must rectify the anomalies or they will face the consequences. The IG then said Tambuwal will be arrested for questioning.”
