EXPOSED: The ‘thug’ who snatched senate’s mace (photo) - The Cable Newspaper

This had generated an uproar, with the house of representatives suspending its activities to solidarise with members of the red chamber.

There have been different comments on who did what in the embarrassing act but this picture shows the moment a young man walked out of the chamber with the mace.

Earlier, a young man dressed in a T-Shirt and trouser snatched the senate’s symbol of authority and fled immediately.

He moved out of the chamber while the man in this picture collected it from him.
