The National Assembly has been reopened after officials of the Department of State Services (DSS) vacated the complex.
The Security officials had stormed the premises in the early hours of Tuesday, barricading the entrance and preventing the lawmakers from entering.
Journalists were also barred from entering the complex with the DSS officials claiming that the blockage was an order “from above.”
The lawmakers alleged that the move by the security officials was an attempt to aid the impeachment of Senate President Bukola Saraki and the Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu.
