The Commissioner of Police in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command has invited one Darlington Udeh for questioning.
Mr. Udeh is to explain why he organised thugs to disrupt the inauguration of the National Assembly Legislative Aides Forum.
The forum was led by Samuel Mayowa Melaye after a competitive election.
Udeh is to appear before the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) National Assembly Division tomorrow (Monday) to explain why he led thugs to disrupt the inauguration of Melaye as chairman of NASSLAF.
Udeh’s group complained that NASSLAF’s last administration of Mahmood Muhammed the North Central has had its shot and cannot come again.
Muhammed is now a member of the House of Representatives, and from the North Central.
“The North Central cannot produce our chairman again.
“We have North West, North East, South South, South East and South West.
“All these zones are ably represented in our union.
“So we cannot allow a particular person or zone to shortchange us or box us into one corner”, they stated.
After the election held on Thursday, April 28, 2016, Udeh was said to have, last week, invaded the venue of the inauguration with thugs.
Melaye, the immediate younger brother to the Chairman, Senate Committee on FCT, Otunba Dino Melaye emerged victorious.
Dino Melaye represents Kogi West on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
As guests waited for the arrival of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, who was scheduled to perform the inauguration, Udeh’s thugs shouted of “Ole, Ole”.
He allegedly sat on the seat meant for Saraki and declared himself chairman of NASSLAF, while his supporters pelted guests with satchels of pure water.
The invitation letter with ref. No. AR:3000/FCT/NASS/VOL.7/26, dated May 5 2016, entitled: “Investigation Activities-Re: Case of breach of peace and public disturbance”, was sent to the Chief of Staff to the Deputy Senate President.
Mr. Udeh works in his office.
The letter, obtained by National Assembly correspondents on Sunday in Abuja, was signed by the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Nancy Ajaponna, a Chief Superintendent of Police .
It reads: “There is a case of breach of peace and public disturbance reported against one of the Aides, Mr. Darlington Udeh in which the Commissioner of Police, FCT Command, has directed a detailed investigation of the case.
“This office is requesting Mr. Darlington Udeh to report to the Divisional Crime Officer, National Assembly Division Office on Monday (today) May 9 2016 at 10:00 hours.”
Sources said that Udeh has gone underground for fear of arrest.
He may, however, be declared wanted by the police, if he does not honour the invitation.
The invitation letter was copied to the Commissioner of Police in charge of Finance and Administration and the Area Commander, FCT metropolis.
