This followed the unrest that erupted at the National Assembly complex on Thursday morning, when the police prevented some lawmakers from gaining access into the parliament.

Due to the blockade, some members of the House scaled the fence and forced the Speaker into the Green Chamber, where the request made by President Goodluck Jonathan to extend emergency rule in three states was deliberated on and rejected by the legislators.

Rising from a meeting with Vice President Namadi Sambo and the National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki at the Presidential Villa, on Friday, Abba ordered the arrest of Tambuwal.
