National Secretary of PANDEF, Dr Alfred Mulade, made the call in a statement signed and made available to Tribune Online in Warri, Delta State.
The umbrella body of all the Niger Deltans frowned on the harassment and humiliation being meted out on members of the National Assembly in recent time.
The body said the development has brought the lawmakers to public ridicule and “it is detrimental to the image of this great country.
“The leadership of the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), condemns in strong terms the undue harassment and withdrawal of security from the Senate President Sen. Dr Bukola Saraki and the speaker Rt Hon Dogara who occupy the No. 3 and No. 4 Positions in this country.
“The invitation of the Senate President and the alleged frame-up of members of the National Assembly is calculated at bringing the National Assembly to ridicule.
“This is condemnable, and an embarrassment to the entire country.
“In recent times, members of the National Assembly who represent the people of Nigeria have suffered so much humiliation that is now making a mockery of the security system of Nigeria.
“This act is politics playing to the gallery, and it is detrimental to the image of this great country.
“That members of the National assembly and indeed the Senate president could be robed into arm robbery incident is appalling and a threat to our democracy.
“We at PANDEF call on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately bring the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris to order.
“Any service chief who indulges in partisanship is not in the best of this country,” Dr Mulade opined.
PANDEF further called on the “security chiefs to be focused on how to curb the incessant, unnecessary killings in the country, particularly in the Middle-Belt.”
