The House of Representatives today descended into full blown crisis as members engaged in physical combat over the election of House principal officers.
Breaking into two factions, one faction supported the ruling APC, which seeks to choose the House principal officers, and the other, backed the speaker, Yakubu Dogara, who insists on defying the party.
The crisis started as soon as the speaker arrived at the House to commence plenary and a group of lawmakers rushed forward to seize the mace, hence disrupting the plenary session.
The federal lawmakers threw caution to the wind which led to blows and chairs flying about....... And also a missing mace.
