Following the theft of the mace by the suspended senator from Delta state, Ovie Omo-Agege, and some suspected thugs, Senator Shehu Sani’s belt was used to replace the mace.

The Senator representing Kaduna Central said, he removed his belt from his waist and laid it on the table to serve as mace.

He said the senators were left in a dilemma whether to adjourn sitting or not, but he and other senators insisted that deliberations must continue.

In a post on his Facebook page, Shehu said,

The senate invaded.Mace taken away.Deliberations on whether to adjoined or not.I and others insisted that the senate must not adjoin.I removed my waist Belt and lay to serve as a mace for us to continue,My colleagues seconded.Then a spare mace brought in and the session continued.Good Drivers are not known when the road is smooth.
