THE Senate President, Godswill Akpabio has reacted to social media reports alleging that the Department of States Service (DSS) had surrounded the National Assembly amidst a potential impeachment threat against principal officers.
The reports said the secret police had taken over all entrances to the assembly complex on Tuesday.
‘We are here, doing our work very peacefully, oblivious of the mischief,’ Akpabio said during plenary on Wednesday.
He cautioned the public to be aware and not adhere to the allegation he described as fake news.
He equally jocularly referred the matter to the committee on special duties chaired by Senator Shehu Kaka for further investigation and report back in 24 hours.
“There is no limit to what social media can do. we are sitting down here doing our work peacefully oblivious of the mischief.
“Which committee do we refer this to? I understand that they are being paid if they have a lot of traffic, but I hope the public is aware that this is total fake news.”
Akpabio referred the issue to the special duties committee to investigate and report back “as soon as possible.
