Senator Omo-Agege arrested

The embattled lawmaker representing Delta Central Senatorial district, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, has been arrested.

The arrest followed his alleged involvement in the snatching of Senate’s mace early on Wednesday when he personally led about seven thugs into the chambers.
After the incident, he stayed in the plenary while large number of policemen were waiting for him to come out.
Omo-Agege could not be arrested in the chambers by policemen, who patiently waited, because of the immunity attached to lawmakers while in the gallery.
Emerging out of the chambers, he was whisked away in a black Hilux van which was also waiting at the main entrance of the White House.
