This led one of the members, Abdullahi Abubakar, to take the mace, at about 1:12pm. Abubakar was said to have been assisted by another member, Mohammed Bello, from Gombe South state constituency to escape with the mace. Bello was reported to have escaped through the door with the mace, while Bello held the door to keep the other members of the assembly from rescuing the mace from him.
