The Policemen and Private guards attached to the legislator’s residence were seen being questioned by the lawmakers who pressed for further answers to unravel how the daylight robbery took place.
Efforts by journalists to speak with Nwaka proved abortive as she kept mute while the consoling lawmakers denied being aware of any incident.
However, one of the lawmakers who confided in a fellow journalist said, the issue of insecurity at the Legislator’s Quarters has been brought before the leadership of the House but no action has been taken so far. “I raised the issue of insecurity of our quarters at Caucus but no one believed me, see what has happened".
