Ben Murray-Bruce, the Senator representing Bayelsa East constituency, has warned that the Senate will not be “cowed”, after thugs broke into the National Assembly and made away with the mace on Wednesday.

In a tweet, Ben Bruce insinuated that the incident was supported by people in high positions.

“What happened at the Senate was unfortunate. Just yesterday I mentioned that the tension in the country is worse than it was before Shagari was overthrown.

“Today this happened. Can the Senate be cowed? Can I be cowed? Anyone, no matter how high, who thinks so, should think again!,” he tweeted.
