The Senator representing Edo North, Adams Oshiomhole has revealed how ex-lawmakers who served at the National Assembly stole properties.
Oshiomhole stated that despite the presence of security personnel, television sets, carpets, and chairs were reportedly looted by the immediate past senators and House of Representatives members.
According to him, the former lawmakers left their offices in a state of disarray, with noticeable holes in the walls.
The former Edo state governor disclosed he even had to personally bear the cost of repairing his office before he could use 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 some 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.”
