Armed men believed to be operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) stormed the Anambra State House of Assembly in Awka on Thursday in an attempt to whisk away the lawmaker-elect for Nnewi North constituency, Mr. Onyekachukwu Ike.

The situation, as our correspondent gathered, caused pandemonium at the legislative complex for over an hour.

An eyewitness said, “There was panic at the Anambra State House of Assembly as four armed men suspected to be operatives of the Directorate of Security Services (DSS) tried to whisk away member-elect for Nnewi North constituency, Mr. Onyekachukwu Ike.

“The armed men drove into the Assembly complex in three vehicles and grabbed the member-elect after he participated in a valedictory Thanksgiving service for the seventh Assembly.

“They bundled the member-elect into their vehicle and were trying to drive out of the Assembly complex when security personnel quickly blocked and locked the exit gate of the chamber.

Speaking, the Acting Clerk of the Assembly, Mrs. Esther Aneto, and other senior staff said the suspected DSS operatives did not inform them or even the police personnel before trying to whisk away the lawmaker-elect.

A source said, “One of the suspected DSS operatives explained that they had a court order to arrest the member-elect for Nnewi North constituency.

“It took the intervention of the Speaker, Dr. Uche Okafor, and the Deputy Governor, Dr. Onyeka Ibezim, who came to represent the governor at the valedictory session of the seventh Assembly, before the member-elect was released.”

When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the incident, saying the matter had been resolved.

He said, “No cause for alarm; it has been resolved. I think it was DSS that was on that mission, but I think everything has been resolved. I was told that the deputy governor and speaker of the house intervened. So, everything was resolved, but I don’t know the circumstances surrounding serving his (Ike’s) invitation.

“Since that place is an institution, with the intervention of the police there and the deputy governor, everything was resolved.”

Arsenal's Kai Havertz scores in win over Burnley

Arsenal close in on Premier League title after Havertz sinks Burnley

Arsenal took a huge step towards becoming Premier League champions as Kai Havertz’s goal was enough to beat relegated Burnley at Emirates Stadium. Havertz had an eventful night – as he escaped a red card after a video assistant referee review ruled that a late challenge on Lesley Ugochukwu was not bad enough to be upgraded from a yellow. Victory means that the Gunners are five points clear of second-placed Manchester City, who have two games to play and take on Bournemouth on Tuesday. And if Pep Guardiola’s side drop points against the Cherries, then Arsenal will be crowned Champions. Mikel Arteta named an attacking line-up for the match with Championship-bound Burnley and the Gunners had the upper hand from the start, but it took until the 37th minute for Havertz to nod in the opener from a trademark Bukayo Saka corner. Man City beat Palace to keep Arsenal title hopes on edge Before taking the lead, Arsenal came close to scoring through Leandro Trossard, whose powerful shot hit the post, while Saka saw an excellent cross roll across the face of the goal after he beat full back Lucas Pires. The victory means that Arsenal are close to winning their first Premier League title for 22 years. And even if City beat Bournemouth on Tuesday, Arteta knows that victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday will crown his team champions.
