She stated that Mr. Mensah had been admitted to the rostrum of the Chamber and had conducted himself fairly well until he pulled a bandage and attempted to strangle him.
"Security in Parliament acted on time and avoided what would have been a fatal incident if it had succeeded. Mr. Mensah was escorted out of the room and handed over to the police for his own safety and that of the general public, "she said.
Parliament consciously maintains a high security presence to ensure the safety of Members and its staff, as well as the general public.
The legislature has also warned citizens that, as long as they are invited to observe the proceedings in the public gallery, they should abide by the rules of the House.
