Several senators yesterday expressed displeasure over measures adopted by security agencies around President Goodluck Jonathan since the anniversary day bombings that killed about 14 persons and injured dozens others.


Speaking off record yesterday the senators that faced tough time in getting into the National Assembly to attend a public hearing on Constitution amendment condemned the manner of security where major roads in the city are cut off to secure the Eagle Square which subjects motorists to harrowing experiences.



One of the senators berated the security arrangement saying, “This is not proper way of ensuring security because it is causing unnecessary hold up in the city and creating fear in the minds of the people that the country is unsafe.”

Another senator told his colleagues that he spent over two hours trying to gain access to the National Assembly. “This is unfair, I think we have to raise this matter on the floor of the Senate.”

All major roads linking the Eagle Square, where President Jonathan performed a function, the Federal Secretariat and the National Assembly were yesterday blocked by policemen and other security agents subjecting motorists and workers to difficulties in accessing their offices.

An observer told Daily Trust that motorists also faced similar difficulties, when wife of the President, Patience Jonathan performed a function at the Eagle Square last Friday.

Yet, if the bombs go off again, they will blame the same on lax security measures.

Thank you LouisThoru. The best thing to do with people like that is to ignore them.
