Ogor said “It is a clear violation of the provisions of the constitution; it is unacceptable as it demonstrates interference with an arm of government.
“If somebody violates the law and nothing is done, it gives him the privilege to move forward.”
“Therefore, it is important that we summon the Director-General of the DSS to explain where the agency derives its powers to invade and destabilise the activities of the House.
“It is important to respect the rule of law and the sanctity of this institution must remain sacrosanct,” Ogor said.
Following the action of the DSS officers, Governor Ayo Fayose has threatened to kick the security agency out of the state.
