The Fear of Boko Haram Sects is now the beginning of wisdom for the Nigerian Leaders as there was pandemonium at the National Assembly on Tuesday which follows the security reports that the Islamists may attack the National Assembly complex.
The rumour of bomb scare forced lawmakers, National Assembly workers and staff of banks within the premises of National Assembly to hurriedly close their offices and ran for dear lives. Legislative aides and civil servants in the Assembly were seen discussing in groups following an alleged strange movement of some group of people whose mission to the National Assembly was said to be suspicious.
The presence of the security operatives, comprising the police and the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, whose attention was drawn to the suspicious movement, actually heightened the tension by creating fears in the minds of the workers as the senior officers in the various offices directed their junior officers to lock up their offices and close for the day to avert any possible danger.
Although the Acting Serjeant-at -Arms of the National Assembly, Mr. Ibrahim Ndako, informed the journalists that there was nothing like bomb scare in the Assembly complex and attributed the workers’ panic to mere rumous. “There was nothing like bomb scare, it is just a rumour. Those banks chose to close because we have assured them that there is nothing like that. It’s just mere rumour."The rumour of bomb scare forced lawmakers, National Assembly workers and staff of banks within the premises of National Assembly to hurriedly close their offices and ran for dear lives.

Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN), has described Monday bomb blast, which killed scores of people at the Nyanya Motor Park in Abuja, as the work of “mindless” and “godless” people.
House of Representatives Speaker, Hon.Aminu Tambuwal donated blood to survivors of the Nyanya bomb blast. He donated the blood at National Blood Transfusion Centre after he visited the survivors of the blast at the National Hospital.
Ndoma-Egba said, “Violence is the argument of one who’s run out of logic. It’s mindless, senseless, barbaric and it’s a call for every Nigerian to be a stakeholder in the security of this country. We’ve gone past the point of leaving our security just to security agencies. We must all now be conscious of our environment, every Nigerian must now be a security agent because these godless people are not spirits; they operate amongst us.”
