Minister for Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami
The Nigerian Senate through its committee on judiciary, human
rights and legal matters, has again summoned Abubakar Malami, the
attorney-general of the federation (AGF), over a suit he filed against
Senate President, Bukola Saraki and deputy senate president, Ike
Ekweremadu, for alleged forgery of senate standing order.
A letter from the committee summoning Malami read:
“I write with reference to your (AGF) correspondence on the
above subject matter with Ref HAGF/NASS/ZOIG/Vol.1/24, dated 23rd June,
2016, whereby you requested for an adjournment of the meeting of the
committee, which was supposed to hold on Thursday, June 23, 2016, to
enable you prepare your response.
“The committee has considered your request and having regard to
the reason adduced, acceded to the request for an adjournment.
Accordingly, the meeting is now scheduled to hold on Thursday 30th June
2016 at 12 noon prompt.
“The venue is Senate Meeting Room 31.3, 3rd Floor, New Senate Building, National Assembly Complex.
"You are by this letter invited to appear before the mentioned place above.”
Recall that last Tuesday, the upper legislative chamber had
summoned Malami, but he failed to honour the invitation, it is not yet
ascertained if he'll honour a second invitation by the senate.
