Senator Abiodun Olujimi was given a hot slap by a staff of the National Assembly on Monday, 29th January, 2018.

Trouble started when an official of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN) took the same elevator with the senator.

Lifts in the assembly are installed in pairs, one reserved for lawmakers (Senators and House of Representatives members), and another for other users.

The senator was on her way to the petroleum committee public hearing while the PASAN member, who was not immediately identified, was to attend a meeting of his association.

Sources said when the lawmaker saw the PASAN staff in the elevator reserved for lawmakers, she demanded to know why he used the same lift with her.

Sources said the senator directed her aide to “slap” the legislative official and the PASAN staff however slapped the senator and not her aide.
