The office of the Speaker of Ogun State House of Assembly, Olakunle Oluomo was on Thursday burgled by some yet to be identified persons and the mace of the Assembly stolen by the hoodlums.
Jomog News Nigeria learnt that the yet-to-be-identified hoodlums broke into the speaker’s office overnight and stole the Assembly’s symbol of authority.
Journalists who visited the assembly complex on Thursday afternoon were denied access by security agents.
When contacted, the spokesman for the Ogun State Police Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident.
He said the coat of the arm has been recovered but the stick is still missing.
The PPRO added that an investigation into the burglary and theft has commenced.
Oyeyemi said, “Yes, there is an unfortunate incident today in the assembly complex.
The hoodlums broke into the assembly through the ceiling and removed the official mace of the house.
That is why the Commissioner of Police has to go there for an on-the-spot assessment.”
When asked how it was recovered, the PPRO declined comments.
“The details will be disclosed after the entire mace is recovered,” he added.
Oyeyemi, who described the incident as unfortunate, said it is being investigated.
