questioning, the Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of the
state, Mr. Innocent Lagi, scaled the fence of the Assembly complex after
been denied access into the complex by security men stationed at the
complex.
Mr Lagi had wanted to pass to the house leadership a court
injunction restraining them from summoning the states electoral chairman
for questioning on electoral matters in the state. Before he got to the
House premises, the electoral chairman and his commissioners had already
answered to the summon by the House.


After jumping the fence, the commissioner was detained for about 40 minutes at the Assembly’s
security post before he was taken away in an armored personnel carrier .
