Senate Serves Summons on Malami Over Forgery Suit

The Senate, through its committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, on Tuesday, issued a fresh summons on the Attorney General of the Federation and the Minister of Justice, Mr Abubakar Malami (SAN).Malami’s invitation is in connection with the forgery case his office instituted against Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and his deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, and two top management staff of the National Assembly.The Senate had first summoned Malami last week following a motion moved by Senator Dino Melaye, representing Kogi West Senatorial District, who relied on Order 14 and 52, to demand the approval of his colleagues for his two prayers, including the invitation of the AGF and the genuineness of the rule book.The Senate had approved the two prayers through a voice vote while Ekweremadu, who presided over the session, asked the joint committee to summon Malami within 48 hours and interrogate him on the suit.The Senate panel, in its fresh summons, dated June 27, and signed by its Chairman, Senator David Umaru, asked Malami to appear before it on Thursday by noon.
