Senator Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello on Tuesday went gaga at the National Assembly, hurling her mobile phone at a hapless security man who had the temerity to prevent one of her personal aides from entering the Assembly through the back entrance.
Following the planned move by some members of the House of Representatives to unseat Speaker Patricia Etteh, security at the National Assembly was beefed up, and people who were unable to genuinely identify themselves, were prevented from entering.
To beat the security at the entrance, some people, who felt they were smart, attempted to gain entrance through the back door, but the Sergeant-at-Arms rose to the occasion, ensuring that people were thoroughly scrutinized.
Unknown to security personnel, however, one of those stopped from entering through the back door was an unidentified aide of the Senator Obasanjo - Bello, the daughter of the former president, Olusegun Obasanjo. The stranded lady sent for her principal, who as soon as she arrived the scene, used her handset as a missile, throwing it at the Sergeant-at-Arms.
The security man evaded the phone, which eventually hit the floor. An enraged Iyabo vowed that she would ensure the young man lost his job.
As at the time of filing this report, Daily Sun gathered from the office of the Sergeant-at-Arms that no formal report had been lodged against any of the officers by the senator or any other person for that matter.
