Tambuwal Asks Court To Send Police IG To Prison For Contempt by phemmyutd(m): 5:31pm On Nov 28, 2014
Rough times are ahead for the Inspector General
of Police, Suleiman Abba. The Speaker of the
House of Reps, Rt. Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, has
asked the Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, to
try The IGP and send him to jail for disobeying an
order made by the court.
The IGP had last week ordered police officers to
take over the National Assembly complex to
“prevent thugs from taking over the complex” and
apparently the thugs are Tambuwal and other
members.
Tambuwal told the court that by the IGP’s refusal
to recognize him as Speaker of the House when
he appeared before a committee of the House on
Monday, the IG constituted himself “to be the
complainant, the judge and the executioner in a
matter where a restraining order has already been
issued by the judge.”
Justice Muhammed, ruling on the exparte
application, ordered Tambuwal’s counsel to serve
the motion on notice on IGP Suleiman Abba’s
lawyers for immediate response...
In a suit filed by Hon Tambuwal over his position
as the speaker after he defected to the APC,
Justice Ahmed Muhammed who is trying the
case, had ordered that all parties should maintain
the status quo, implying that Mr. Tambuwal stays
put on his seat as speaker till the court takes a
decision on the matter.
Relying on two grounds, Tambuwal, on Friday,
represented by Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), said the IG
should be charged for contempt after he directed
his men to stop the plaintiff from gaining access
to the premises of the National Assembly despite
an earlier order by the court that all parties must
maintain the status quo pending the
determination of the substantive suit seeking
interpretation of his status as the Speaker of the
House of Representatives.
Justice Muhammed has adjourned the matter to
December 1, 2014, for a ruling.

Who will arrest the Police IG? Who will enforce it? This was how IGP Onovo undermined the court on 3 good occasion, not even the arrest warrent issued against him by the court was implemented by FCT Police Command.

When Mimiko defected from the LP to the PDP, most (if not all) of the Senators, House of Rep Members on the platform of LP from the State (Ondo) defected to the PDP with him. My question now is: "Why were their Seats not declared vacant?" Lest you misquote me, I'm referring to the Members of the National Assembly, not Mimiko. Was there any division in LP when they defected from the to the PDP?!
