The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court has given a seven-day ultimatum to the Senate and other parties to respond to a suit challenging its investigation of the senator representing the Delta central senatorial district, Ovie Omo-Agege.
Mr. Omo-Agege was investigated and subsequently suspended for accusing his colleagues of working against President Muhammadu Buhari.
The court presided by Nnamdi Dimbga made the ruling after declaring that the time for the defence, including Senate President Bukola Saraki, to file their response to the motion brought by Mr Omo-Agege had been abridged.
Mr Omo-Agege is asking the court to stop the Nigerian Senate from implementing the report of the Senate’s’s ethics and privileges committee which investigated comments made by him in February
