Sen. Adams Oshiomhole, former Edo State Governor, has accused senators and members of the House of Representatives in the Ninth National Assembly of looting household items, belonging to the legislature.
Oshiomhole, who is the senator, representing Edo North in the NASS, was shocked by the level of vandalism, adding that regardless of the presence of security operatives, the former lawmakers looted television sets, carpets and chairs.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Oshiomhole alleged that the ex-lawmakers left their offices in shambles with holes on the wall, saying he had to pay to fix his office before using it.

He said: “Let me tell you one thing the National Assembly is not talking about and I don’t know why those who have a duty to speak are not speaking about it.
“I was shocked by the level of vandalisation of properties of the National Assembly. Televisions were carted away, carpets were carted away, Senators’ chairs were carted away.
“I had to use my money and someone also decided to deliver to me a printer, to give me a laptop to use in my office. I had to buy the carpet and pay the cost of fixing it. I had to pay some young people to clean the office to restore the new carpet. I had to pay to repaint my office. I will produce you the receipt.
“I can’t understand why and how a senate that sat on Sunday before we were inaugurated on the following Tuesday, and that level of vandalisation took place, and we have hundreds of security men and women in the National Assembly. I can never understand what happened. You find holes on the wall, even in the offices of principal officers of the senate, who I won’t get to mention.
“People told me there’s also the same level of vandalisation in the House Representatives.”
