Nigerian Lawmakers Scale Fence To Gain Access Into Legislative Chamber–PHOTOS


Ok, the gist is a simple enough one, but the pictures aren’t. It takes some adroit skills to scale a gate or fence especially when you are dressed like a Nigerian legislator; complete with an ‘agbada’ and cap.
Now for the gist: As Pro-Tambuwal legislators marched to the national assembly complex to hold a plenary session, they were met by policemen who bolted the gates and fired teargas at the onrushing lawmakers including the speaker (Aminu Tambuwal). Tambuwal and his friends are obviously paying for the Speaker’s defection to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Now the hard part: lawmakers forced themselves into the Assembly complex by scaling the fence and fending off teargas canisters and flares.
