According to available information, the National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, was also at the meeting held at the Headquarters of the DSS in Abuja.
It was said the plot was to remove Saraki and replace him with the Senate Leader, Ahmad Lawan, while Senator Hope Uzodinma, was pencilled down to replace the Deputy President of the Senate, Dr. Ike Ekweremadu.
One of those prevented from entering the National Assembly was Senator Rafiu Ibrahim, who came out of his vehicle, identified himself to the operatives.
Saraki had on Monday announced the reconvening of the leadership of the National Assembly after a break was announced on July 24.
The National Assembly was to reconvene on September 26, with the break scheduled to end on September 25.
