The senate has asked security agencies to retrieve its mace within 24 hours.
Ike Ekweremadu, deputy senate president, gave the ultimatum after a delegation of the house of representatives visited the senate on Wednesday afternoon.
The mace was stolen after Ovie Omo-Agege, lawmaker representing Delta central senatorial district, invaded the chamber with suspected thugs.
Omo-Agege was suspended last week for challenging the sequence of election as proposed by the senate.
He had said it was targetted at President Muhammadu Buhari.
However, he made his way into the red chamber on Wednesday while some unidentified persons who accompanied him carted away the mace.
In a statement, Abdullahi Sabi, spokesman of the upper legislative chamber, said the act is tantamount to treason.
