Breaking: AGF Abubakar Malami Summoned by Senate over Saraki and Ekweremadu’s forgery case

Mr Abubakar Malami, the Attorney-General of the Federation, is expected to appear in the Nigerian Senate after he was summoned today by the legislators over plans to prosecute the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, who were alleged to have forged the Senate Standing Order 2015.


Saraki and Ekweremadu were accused by a number of lawmakers of conspiring with national assembly officials to forge the senate rules. The lawmakers claimed that the subsisting law at the time of the election of its principal officers was the Senate Rules 2011 which was yet to be amended. You can read about it here.

According to Premium Times, the senate took the decision following a motion moved by the Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino Melaye.

Dino Melaye said “there is an impending threat to democracy” and that the executive arm of government plans to enthrone “one man rule”. He further stated that the senate wants the AGF to “explain and justify his action with evidence and why it does constitute gross abuse of his office”.
Six senators supported the motion.

Ekweremadu, who presided over the session, asked the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, to summon Malami, within 48 hours.

History recorded that black women were raped and dehumanized without fear of punishment. The reasons of their white owners couldn't be justified as they smelt of share hatred and xenophobia for their skin colour. Black men were also sexually abused by slaveholders, and sometimes, their wives were not spared from the ill-treatment as they worked tirelessly on farmlands with stipends that amounted to virtually nothing. The slave trade refers to the transatlantic tradi...
