BREAKING: Protesters Block NASS Gate over Rejected Women Bills

Women groups Wednesday afternoon  blocked the Federal Secretariat axis entrance of the National Assembly to protest the outcome of the voting on constitutional amendment.

They were not allowed access into the National Assembly by security agents as the gate was locked against them.

During the voting in the National Assembly on Monday, the Bills promoting the interest of women were thrown out.

The bills bordered on special seats for women in the legislature, indigenes hip, citizenship and 35 per cent party leadership.

The women insisted they would not leave until they meet the leadership of the National Assembly.

As of the time of filing this report the gates to the National Assembly were still blocked.

The women insisted they must know how each lawmaker voted
