After the crisis at the
house, police officer
visited the home of Austin
Nwachukwu to arrest him
at the request for the
Speaker of the house,
Dimeji Bankole. He is been
accused for stopping
motion to suspend
members of the
progressives and
eventually making use of
Canisters of tear gas
inside the chamber.
Which led to the fracas
where Ms. Doris Udoh was

Oladimeji and Julius Toba,

Representatives.
