A coalition of various Civil Society Organisations under the aegis of Citizens United for Peace and Stability, on Tuesday, stormed the premises of the National Assembly, demanding the immediate resignation of embattled Senate President Bukola Saraki.
The activities of the protesters numbering over 200 caused a serious gridlock as they forced the security operatives of the federal parliament to close the main gate from about noon till the time of filing this report.
The protesters, who arrived at the National Assembly complex with mats and foams, sat on the floor outside the main gate, chanting solidarity songs, not minding the scorching sun.
Our correspondent observed that the protesters underscored the seriousness of their mission as they had mobilised generators, cooking utensils and mobile toilets to the National Assembly.
The anti-Saraki agitators pledged to occupy the complex until their demands were met, vowing to ensure that the situation persisted till Thursday (tomorrow).
