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.”

TikTok personality Habeeb “Peller” Hamzat has been granted bail after being arraigned before a Lagos magistrate’s court on allegations of obstructing police officers and conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace.   According to TheCable Lifestyle, Peller and his co-defendant, Bello Oladipo, appeared in court on Monday over an incident that allegedly occurred on July 2, 2026, along the Coastal Road in Lekki, Lagos. The prosecution filed three charges against the pair, including conspiracy to commit felony, obstruction of police officers while carrying out their lawful duties, and conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace. The charges followed a viral video showing Peller in a confrontation with police officers. In the footage, the social media influencer alleged that he was harassed after being stopped for driving a vehicle without a number plate. He claimed he had only recently purchased the vehicle and further alleged that an officer pulled his shirt and pointed a gun at him. Police officers at the scene insisted he should be taken into custody. According to the charge sheet, the defendants obstructed four police officers during the discharge of their duties. They were also accused of threatening and recording the officers while they carried out their official responsibilities. Both defendants pleaded not guilty to all charges. The magistrate granted each defendant bail in the sum of N500,000 with two sureties. The court directed that one surety must be a blood relative, while all sureties must provide tax clearance certificates covering the past two years.
