Fidelity Advert

Barely one week after Federal High Court sitting in Abuja was allegedly desecrated by the operatives of the Department of State Security that invaded the courtroom to rearrest the publisher of Saharareporters and convener of #RevolutionNow, Omoyele Sowore, the Senate on has mandated its Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters to investigate the situation.

This resolution followed a point of order moved by the Senator representing Ekiti Central, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele during their sitting on Thursday.

Senator Bamidele coming under order 43 of the Senate Standing Rules, drew the attention of the upper chamber to the alleged invasion of a Federal High Court, Abuja, presided over by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu.

He said that the Senate cannot afford to gloss over the matter as direct representatives of the people.

He called on the Senate to mandate its committee on National Security and Intelligence to investigate the matter to enable the upper chamber draw conclusion based on facts.

President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, said since the matter concerned the judiciary, the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters chaired by Senator Bamidele should investigate the matter and report back in one week.
