Scores of physically challenged persons from the Niger Delta region have invaded the premises of the National Assembly in protest of what they termed negligence by their representatives in the National Assembly.
The physically challenged persons forced themselves inside the National Assembly Complex despite resistance by security operatives at the NASS gate on Thursday morning.
Security aides of the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, hurriedly moved away his official vehicles parked at the entrance of the Senate new wing to forestall any damage.
The spokesperson for the physically challenged persons, Amos Etim, said they arrived at the National Assembly from the various states of Niger Delta to demand their rights from their representatives.
They claimed that they were being denied their rights despite being educated.
One of them was reported to have fainted as of the time of filing this report.
