All is set for the arraignment of the Senate
President, Dr Bukola Saraki, and his deputy,
Senator Ike Ekweremadu, for alleged forgery of
Senate Standing Rules before Justice Yusuf Haliru
While the Senate leadership described the
charges as a breach of the principle of
separation of powers and an attempt by the
executive to sack the Senate leaders through the
backdoor, the Attorney General of the Federation,
Abubakar Malami, SAN, said he acted within the
law.
Charged along with Saraki and Ekweremadu are
Salisu Abubakar Maikasuwa and Benedict Efeturi,
The charges read: “That you, Salisu Abubakar
Maikasuwa, Benedict Efeturi, Dr. Olubukola Saraki
and Ike Ekweremadu, on or about, the 9th of
June, 2015, at the National Assembly complex,
Three Arms Zone, Abuja, within the jurisdiction of

the Penal Code Law.”
They were also accused of fraudulently forging
the Senate Standing Order 2011 (as amended),
causing it to be believed as the genuine Standing
Order, 2015 and circulated same for use during
