Senators Lawan, Bukar Abba Ibrahim and Mohammed Hassan,all from yobe state on Thursday, clashed over the invasion of a female boarding school by suspected Boko Haram Islamic terrorists.
The trio clashed on the floor of the Senate, when Abba Ibrahim raised a point of order to draw the attentin of his colleagues to conflicting reports about the whereabouts of over 100 female students of Government Girls Technical College, Dapchi in Yobe State.
Trouble started as soon as the Senate leader, Lawan, who hails from the state, concluded his remarks. Lawan, had while contributing, hailed the efforts of the state governor, Mr. Ibrahim Geidam.
"I want to commend the governor of Yobe State, Ibrahim Geidam, for ensuring that parents were comforted and for sending officials of the Ministry of Education to go round the families and ensure that they took head counts of the girls from that school," Lawan had noted.
Obviously infuriated, Hassan described Lawan's comments as "quite disheartening to hear." He maintained that the state governor has failed in protecting students in the state.
He recalled five attacks on public schools in the state in recent times and concluded that the governor had abdicated his duties as the chief security officer of the Boko Haram ravaged state.
