Senator Kabiru Marafa challenges Senate President's order

Sen. Kabiru Marafa (APC-Zamfara), walked out of the chamber over composition of standing committees of the Senate in Abuja on Tuesday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Marafa interrupted plenary session during debate on adoption of 8th Senate Legislative Agenda.
