Legislative aides to members of the National Assembly have embarked on a peaceful protest over the alleged non-payment of their allowances totalling N5.8bn.

The workers, most of whom were dressed in black, stormed the lobby adjoining the Senate and House of Representatives chambers with placards as the lawmakers were resuming from their annual two-month recess.

They were however prevented from blocking the entrances to the chambers to allow lawmakers access to the floors for plenary.

While both chambers resumed plenary, the protesters were still occupying a section of the lobby, where some of them sat on the floor and others were singing protest songs.

The legislative aides had on September 4, during the recess, threatened to shut down the National Assembly if their allowances were not paid before resumption.

SAM MELAYE is the leader of the aggrieved aides.

Ekiti State Governor, AYODELE FAYOSE, has filed a suit against the EFCC at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

The N20bn suit, according to the governor is for placing him on a watch list and directing that he should be arrested, if he attempts to travel out of the country.

EFCC had requested that the Nigeria Customs Service place the Governor on a watchlist following fraud allegations against him.

The governor had also on September 16, 2018, denied claims that he plans to fly out of the country as soon as his tenure ends.

His media aide, LERE OLAYINKA speaks to Inspiration fm TAIWO OLAPADE on the Governor’s decision to go to court.
