House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, over Thursday’s crisis at the
National Assembly in Abuja, it was learnt. source said that
on
Friday in Abuja that the Inspector- General of Police, Mr. Suleiman
Abba, had ordered that the Speaker should be “invited” over the crisis.
The Department of State Services was said to have given a similar order asking that the Speaker should be invited by any of its commands.
This was sequel to information that
Tambuwal was sighted in Sokoto State on Thursday evening where had gone
to pick the All Progressives Congress governorship expression of
interest and nomination forms for the 2015 governorship election.
But the Force Public Relations Officer,
Emmanuel Ojukwu, said, the IGP had yet to give an “express order” for
the Speaker’s arrest.
Ojukwu said the officers investigating the crisis would determine those to be arrested for prosecution.

office specifically directed the Federal Capital Territory and Sokoto
State commissioners of police to invite Tambuwal and that if he resists,
he should be arrested.

Commissioner of Police is likely because the Speaker was in Sokoto
yesterday to pick the APC’s governorship form to contest the 2015
election,” the source said.
