Court Adjourns Forgery Case Against Saraki, Ekweremadu To June 1 by ckmayoca: 12:55pm On Apr 27, 2016
The case instituted against Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, challenging their election as principal officers of the Senate has again being adjourned to June 1.

The Federal High Court hearing the case in Abuja was forced to adjourn the case following the absence of four out of the six defendants in the matter.

At the resumed hearing on Wednesday, Justice Stephen Chukwu adjourned the case following information that the four defendants were not served with hearing notice by the court bailiff.

Counsel to the plaintiff, Mr Mamman Osuman (SAN) told Chukwu that counsel to Ekweremadu, Mr Patrick Ikweto, could not be located for the notice to be served on him.

Osuman further told the court that findings by his legal team and from the court bailiff indicated that Ikweto had relocated from his chambers in Wuse to an unknown destination.

He said that although the court required counsel relocating office to notify courts where he had cases, Ikweto had not done so.

Mamman, however, claimed that Ikweto might have been unable to inform the court due to an oversight.

He appealed to the judge for an adjournment to enable the defendants be served with fresh hearing notices.

The judge subsequently adjourned the matter to June 1 and ordered that fresh hearing notices be served on all parties.

Justice Chukwu warned that whether the defendants were in court or not on the adjourned date, the hearing would definitely go on.

Sen. Abu Ibrahim, and four others had filed a suit claiming that the Senate standing orders used for the election of Saraki and Ekweremadu had been forged and so the election should be nullified.

They prayed the court for an order to stop them from parading themselves as leaders of the Senate and that senators should be barred from recognizing them as principal officers.

However, Saraki, in his defence said that he was returned unopposed as there was no election and no one contested the position with him.

He said that the five senators had no locus standi to come to court because there were 109 senators and the decision of only five could not override the decision of 104 others.

He added that they brought the case to court in their individual capacity and not on behalf of the Senate.

The defence added that they had not told the court what they had lost by that election since they never claimed in their suit that they had aspired to any of the positions.

The defence prayed the court to dismiss the case for lack of merit as well as non disclosure of cause of action.

That excuse by Senator Saraki is not denying that the document was forged and it just technically nailed his Vice(Sen. Ekweremadu). But he forgot that the exercise and subsequent swearing him in as a Senate President derives its authority from that "forged " rule.Or was he not sworn in too? undecided
If he loses this case, he will not even be constitutionally recognized as ex-Senate president .

If people like Amaechi, Fashola,Atiku,Tinubu,and even Obasanjo became saints all of a sudden despite provable allegations against them,they are free and even celebrated just because they belong to a particular ruling class, I wonder why the treat and forceful removal plans of these two guys just because they have issues with a particular set or group of people, this is real persecution and not prosecution.Suddenly they knew Saraki did not declear his assets correctly after more than 8 years, but when he forced his way out of PDP these were people praising and chanting his name, it's a lesson to him though and others that there is no permanent friends in politics.He amongst them that is not guilty should use swear with his family to go the way of Late Bar Ocholi. I weep for my dear country

Adjourn to move motion, adjourn to file motion, adjourn to hear motion, adjourn to file evidence, adjourn to tender exhibit, adjourn for admissibility of witness evidence, adjournment to hear eligibility of tribunal, adjournment for tribunal jurisdiction ... sad
