Police has handed over the Mace of the Senate which it recovered to the Clerk of the National Assembly, Sani Omolori.

Omolori received the mace from the Police Deputy Inspector General in charge of Operations.

Deputy Public Relations Officer at the Police Headquarters, Aremu Adeniran, had earlier disclosed that a police team recovered the mace where the hoodlums abandoned it.

According to him, “The suspected miscreants abandoned the mace at a point under the flyover before the City Gate, where a patriotic passer-by saw it and alerted the Police.”

The mace was snatched on Wednesday by hoodlums believed to be sympathisers of suspended Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, who invaded the upper chamber, disrupting proceedings and disappearing with the symbol of authority after overcoming senators who engaged them in a scuffle.
