Reps exchange blows over leadership tussle,Mace disappears

A serious fight has broken out among members of
the House of Representatives, with the federal
lawmakers exchanging blows.
At the plenary of the House on Thursday, the tension
and divided interest among the legislators led to a
brawl, which is still ongoing as of the time of filing
this report, between the two factions in the
chamber.
At the heart of the fighting is the leadership crisis,
which has engulfed the House since the controversial
inauguration of the National Assembly on June 9.
The Mace, which is the symbol of authority of the
House, has disappeared, as the lawmakers continue
with their fighting.
It is learnt that the Mace has however been ferried
to the inner office of the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara.
Confusion currently prevails in the Green Chamber,
with no one appearing to be in charge.
Some loyalists surround the Speaker, with each of
them trying to tell Dogara what do in the midst of
the confusion in the House.
