notes: On 7 August, DSS operatives wearing masks dismantled the internal security at the Parliament, chased away the sergeants-at-arm and blocked all entrances to the building for up to an hour. The blockade was seen by the opposition as a bid to intimidate its leaders as it followed the recent defection of around 50 lawmakers from Buhari's ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) party to the main opposition. The DSS director was fired after the event.
