The Nigerian National Assembly complex is flooded with fully masked and heavily armed security officers from different agencies ranging from the Departmental State Service (DSS), Civil Defence, to Nigerian Police, among others.
The officials could be seen parading the entire complex as movements were restricted.
It is believed that the heavy security presence is linked to the summon of the Inspector-General of Police, Idris Ibrahim, who is expected to appear before the Senate on Wednesday.
Mr Idris was summoned by the Senate on April 25 over the travails of a senator, Dino Melaye, who ended up in hospital after reportedly jumping off a police van taking him to Lokoja in Kogi State.
But the police chief failed to appear, stating he travelled on that day to Bauchi with President Muhammadu Buhari who was on a state visit.
His failure to appear compelled the senate to re-summon him and he is expected to appear in plenary today.
The Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) Operations, Taiwo Lakanu ,was seen walking into the National Assembly complex earlier.
Lawal Daura, the director-general of DSS, who had earlier been summoned by the lawmakers as well, is expected to appear.
Some of the DSS operatives are masked while others are not.
The lawmakers summoned Idris to brief them on the travails of Dino Melaye, senator representing Kogi west, who has been having a running battle with the police.
