Thursday Ibrahim Lamorde, the former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), took his battle against a Senate probe to the Federal High Court of Abuja. Festus Keyamo, the former chairman’s attorney, filed a suit claiming that it was illegal for the Senate to compel him to appear before it regarding issues concerning an office he has vacated.

Mr. Lamorde is under investigation for allegedly misappropriating over N1 trillion, being recovered proceeds of corruption. The defendants of the suit were listed as the Senate, the Senate Committee on Ethics, Public Petitions,and Privileges, the Inspector General of Police, and the Director-General of the Department of State Services (DSS).
President Muhammadu Buhari relieved Mr. Lamorde of his post last week. The former chairman is currently out of the country for medical reasons.
For the past week, he has argued that it is unconstitutional for the Senate to request his appearance with a summons rather than a letter of invitation. He has also noted that neither the DSS nor the police can issue a warrant against him without his receipt of a summons.

ReplyDeleteOk whatever, it seems the judiciary is a pun in the hands of the rich in this country, they run to court anytime there is an issue of corruption against them. Why can't they just go and answer questions first and it seems this only happens in Nigeria.
