TRENDING: FED. HIGH COURT GIVES REPS SPEAKER 7 DAYS

"Federal High Court orders House of Representatives to Appear before the Court over ongoing moves by the House of Representatives to invite the Opposition Coalition (CUPP) Spokesperson Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere to appear before the controversial Henry Nwawuba led House adhoc Committee within 7 days".

.... Orders the House to stop all deliberation on the matter pending when they appear before the court.


The Federal High court sitting in Abuja and presided over by Justice Taiwo Taiwo has ordered the Speaker, House of Representatives to appear within seven days, over their ongoing moves to invite the Opposition Coalition Spokesperson, Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere.

Recall that Ugochinyere had been invited to appear before the Henry Nwawuba led adhoc Committee probing the media statements and opposition of the CUPP against Speaker Gbajabiamila Compulsory Vaccination bill which the Speaker is claiming to be offensive.

Justice Taiwo, while delivering ruling in the suit brought by Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, reminded the Defendants (Femi Gbajabiamila, House of Representatives, Clerk of the National  Assembly and the Inspector General of Police) of the settled position of the law that, once a matter is in court, parties must not do any act to foist upon the court a situation of fair accompli.

The matter has been adjourned to the 27th of May, 2020
