Senate Mace: Police Reveal Those Who Stole Senate Mace

Abdul made this claim during an investigative hearing into the incident by joint 

ad hoc committee investigating the incident.
According to him, what happened at the National Assembly was an act of internal 

conspiracy among some security agencies and some lawmakers.

“There should be cooperation between security agencies and the lawmakers but, 

in this case, the attack came from the roof as the senators are not helping security 

matters. On April 16, there was hint that a group planned to invade the 

National Assembly and disrupt activities, which called for a build-up of security with 

two units of mobile police mobilized to the complex. However, on April 18, at about 11am, 

my attention was drawn to a group protesting at the gate, 

and, while I moved to address the group, I was informed that some people were

 running away with the mace.

“I signalled all the entry points that nobody drives in or out but three men approached me 

identifying themselves as security operatives and requested to be allowed to go. The strain 

of blood on their clothes made me suspicious and I ordered their arrest. In all, six people 

were arrested same day and handed over to the Force Headquarters alongside charms 

recovered from them.

“In addition, an unmarked Prado jeep and a Toyota Hilux were impounded and they are 

with the police. It was later that I observed that the protest was a diversionary attention to 

move me out and that the protesters were same group with those who attacked.

He said there was no communication from the National Assembly’s Sergeant-At-Arms 

during the invasion by the thugs.
