As earlier reported, the Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, Adeniran Aremu, had said in a statement on Thursday morning that the mace was recovered under the flyover near the Abuja city gate where it was abandoned.

The Deputy Inspector of Police (Operations), Joshak Habila, brought back the mace and handed it over to the Clerk of the National Assembly, Sanni Omolori, who later took the mace to the Senate chamber and handed it over to the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu.
