Dominic Nitiwul, the Defence Minister, has denied allegations by Murtala Mohammed, Tamale Central Member of Parliament, that he ordered the military invasion into Parliament.
While Parliamentarians were voting to elect a Speaker for the eighth Parliament, armed military men invaded the Chambers of Parliament on January 7.
The presence of the military in the Chamber of Parliament came as a shock to many considering the fact that the military is not expected to enter the chamber of the Lawmaking house.
Dominic Nitiwul, who is the Member of Parliament for Bimbilla, reacting to the allegation that he ordered the military invitation of the chamber, denied the claims saying “It got to a point that Members of Parliament themselves were a danger to themselves.
He indicated that the Soldiers were on the premises for the inauguration of the President and sensing danger had to come in to protect the Members of Parliament who were engaged in near fisticuffs.
