The attempt by Dino Melaye to resume at the House of Representatives in line with a court   ruling was today frustrated at the National Assembly. Melaye had arrived in the morning only to meet a brickwall as he was denied entrance.

Eye witnesses said Melaye, a member of the House of Representatives from Kogi State also blocked the main  entrance to the National Assembly for some hours. Those who witness the drama said it lasted from morning till afternoon. And there were some victims of the impasse.

For instance, all the procurement cadre staff of the National Assembly undergoing training at the National Merit House could not return to their Offices when they were expected at 2pm after the day’s training.

Even,  a source said, some principal staff of the National Assembly was locked inside because the main entrance was barricaded. Some junior staff used the alternative entrance to reach their bosses and avoided the main entrance, according to an eye witness

``And people had to park their vehicles far away and trek into the National Assembly premises through the back entrance’’ the  witness said.
