The physically challenged persons forced themselves inside the National Assembly Complex despite resistance by security operatives at the gate.
Their invasion disrupted various activities at the parliament, as they ran round the complex chanting, ‘We no gree, you must kill us, stop neglecting us and so on.’
Their spokesperson, Amos Etim, speaking to newsmen explained that they came to National Assembly to demand their rights from their representatives.
Also one of them, speaking to newsmen in tears, alleged that a sergeant injected him with a needle as they were trying to force their way into the complex.
”How can you inject a deformed person?, I almost fainted, don’t know what they injected me with,” he said
As at the time of filing this report, some members of the Senate and House of Representatives stepped out to address them.
