Members of the House of Representatives broke into a rowdy session on Tuesday as tempers rose over a proposed immunity against prosecution for presiding officers of the National Assembly.
It also included presiding officers of State Houses of Assembly.
The immediate beneficiaries of the proposal, which came in the form of a bill, would be the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara; Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu; and Deputy Speaker of the House, Yussuff Lasun.
All the officials have a four-year tenure running till 2019, a period in which the National Assembly would have also concluded fresh amendments to the 1999 Constitution.
