The Nigerian police say
they have recovered the mace that was stolen from the Senate on Wednesday.
According to a statement
signed by the deputy public relations officer in the police headquarters, Aremu
Adeniran, and sent to Premium Times, the police said they recovered the mace
where the hoodlums abandoned it.
“The police teams engaged
in massive raids of identified criminal spots/flashpoints, stop and search
operations, visibility and confidence building patrols, intelligence gathering
which forced the suspected miscreants to abandon the mace at a point under the
flyover before the City Gate, where a patriotic passer-by saw it and alerted
the Police.”
He, however, said discreet
investigation into the incident is still ongoing to arrest and bring the
perpetrators to justice.
He appreciated members of
the public, most especially motorists within Abuja Metropolis for their support,
cooperation and timely information during the stop and search operations for
the recovery of the mace.
The National Assembly had
on Wednesday given the Inspector General of Police 24hours to produce the mace
that was stolen by hoodlums suspected to be sponsored by a suspended senator,
Ovie Omo-Agege.
