A federal lawmaker Hon. Garba Ibrahim Muhammad has publicly warned that the National Assembly Complex is facing “many security threats”, raising concerns about the vulnerability of Nigeria’s legislative hub. The legislator cited breaches in access control, outdated infrastructure, and intelligence gaps as contributing factors to the heightened risk environment.
According to the source, the combination of transgressions — from unauthorised entry to inadequate cyber-security protections — has put both personnel and key operations at risk. While specific incidents were not detailed, the disclosure has prompted questions about the adequacy of security arrangements around Nigeria’s legislative seat.
Security experts say the revelation underscores the need for a comprehensive review of facility hardening, surveillance systems, and contingency planning. Given the broader security climate in Nigeria, where legislative institutions remain symbolic and actual targets for various threat actors, the issue requires urgent and sustained attention.
