The Gombe State Police Command says it has recovered the mace of the Gombe House of Assembly which was taken away by some members of the house on Thursday.
Four members from the opposition APC had overpowered the Sergeant-at-Arms during plenary, seized the mace and fled the assembly, after a failed attempt to impeach the Minority Leader, Ahmed Usman Haruna on May 24.
While addressing journalists at the premises of the house on May 25, Mr Tairu Shina Olukolu, the Gombe State Commissioner of Police, said the police team dispatched to recover the mace found it behind the National Industrial Court complex, Gombe. 
He added the mace had been handed over to the Speaker of the house, Alhaji Nasiru Abubakar Nono.
While saying that the police were yet to make any arrest, he said that investigation was still ongoing. Nono then urged politicians to refrain from criminal acts in the name of politics that will unnecessary heat up the polity.

The house has since suspended the four lawmakers — Abdullahi Abubakar Maiwanka, Walid Mohammed, Mohammed A Bello and Abubakar Sadiq Ibrahim — all members of the opposition APC.
