Police arrest Nasarawa Commissioner for jumping state House of Assembly fence

Lafia — The Nasarawa Police Command,
Tuesday, arrested the Nasarawa State
Attorney General and Commissioner for
Justice, Mr. Innocent Lagi, for scaling the
fence of the State House of Assembly to
serve a court order.
Lagi was at the Assembly to serve the
officials with a court injunction restraining
the House from summoning the
chairman of Nasarawa State Independent
Electoral Commission, NASIEC, and his
commissioners to appear before them.
However, the News Agency of Nigeria,
reported that he was not allowed to enter
the premises by the security officers.
The Attorney-General, after being denied
access to the complex, decided to jump
over the fence, which prompted the
legislators to order security officials to
arrest him.
It was also reported that before Lagi
arrived at the Assembly complex, the
Chairman of the commission, Dr.
Abdullahi Modibo, and five other
commissioners had already responded to
questions raised by members on the
conduct of the exercise.
