The Nigerian Senate on Thursday, mandated its committee on Judiciary,  Human Rights and Legal matters to investigate the reported invasion of a Federal High Court Abuja by operatives of the Department of State Services.

This is sequel to a point of order moved by the Chairman of the Committee, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele.

The President of the Senate asked Bamidele’s panel to start legislative action on the issue and submit its report next week.

Some suspected operatives of the secret police were shown in viral video recordings last week, making frantic efforts to arrest the Publisher of Sahara Reporters inside the courtroom.
