Operatives of the Department of State Security had early on Tuesday taken over the entries of the National Assembly complex claiming to be acting on orders from above.
Senators and some staff of the assembly were initially denied entry but were later allowed to enter after some heated arguments.
Later on Tuesday, a new set of operatives arrived at the NASS gate to take over from those stationed at the gate since 6.30 am.
Journalists and workers were still barred from gaining access into the complex as at press time.
