Senate Summons AGF
The FG has failed to arraign the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, and his deputy, Senator Ike Ekwerenmadu, before an Abuja High Court on charges of forgery of the Senate Standing Rules used to conduct the election that brought them into office, as principal officers.
Contrary to media report on the arraignment, the federal government has not served the four defendants with the criminal charge as required by law.
The court bailiff was said to have taken the charge to the National Assembly complex on Friday evening, but did not meet the defendants in their offices.
Similar attempt was also said to have been made to serve them on Monday, but it also failed, because he was told that the lawmakers do not sit on Fridays and Mondays.
However, Justice Yusuf Haliru of an Abuja High Court has ordered that Saraki, Ekweremadu, others be served by substituted means.
Saraki/Ekweremadu notice of summons is to be pasted on the notice board of the NASS complex. Arraignment has been slated for d 27th of June.
