Hon Lasun stated that he was around for the Emergency meeting but was shocked to see the Siege by the operatives of the DSS on the Complex which he said prompted the suspension of the meeting.

While condemning the security siege on the NASS Complex, the Deputy Speaker declared that it would be very impossible for those behind the impeachment of the presiding officers in the two Chambers to get the required two-third Majority to achieve their mission.

This Coming just as the former governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Kwankaso stormed the NASS complex with some of his Supporters, hailing his arrival.

The former Governor who is a serving Senator was immediately allowed access to the Complex while his supporters stayed back.
