Read the report very well, the petitioners withdrew the case and the judge struck it out. Am sure the case was withdrawn as a result of the reconciliation effort by leaders of the party.

Only a foolish president will allow someone that had a strong hand in his becoming president to determine those that can impeach him. I still wonder why people believe that Buhari did not intentionally take the APC senators away from the assembly complex on the day of the elections.

ABUJA—Justice Ademola Adeniyi of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, yesterday, struck out the suit that sought to remove the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his Deputy, Ike Ekweremadu from office on the premise that the Senate Standing Orders 2015, that produced them, was forged.

Justice Adeniyi terminated further hearing on the matter after the plaintiffs who are five Senators Abu Ibrahim, Kabir Marafa, Ajayi Boroffice, Olugbenga Ashafa and Suleiman Hunkuni, applied to withdraw the suit.

At the resumed sitting on the case yesterday, the plaintiffs, through their lawyer Chief Mamman Osuman (SAN), said their decision to discontinue further hearing on the matter was in view of the fact that[b] the essence of the suit had been overtaken by events.[/b]

They noted that the Senate leadership under Saraki and Ekweremadu, despite the pendency of the suit, had carried out several legislative actions, among which they said included the constitution of different committees for the 8th Senate.

Following their application, Justice Adeniyi, in a short ruling yesterday, struck out the suit.
Meanwhile, none of the defendants sent a legal representation before the court yesterday.
Specifically, the plaintiffs had prayed the court to stop both Saraki and Ekweremadu from further exercising the powers of the Senate President and Deputy Senate President, respectively.

In their suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/651/2015, the plaintiffs, all members of All Progressives Congress, APC, also urged the court to stop the two defendants from relying on the provisions of the alleged forged Senate Standing Orders 2015, to conduct the affairs of the Senate.

Equally joined as defendants in the suit were the Clerk of the National Assembly, the Senate itself and the National Assembly.

The plaintiffs were all members of the ‘Unity Forum’ in the Senate that supported Ahmed Lawan to emerge as the Senate President in the election that was won by Saraki on June 9.

Justice Gabriel Kolawole, who earlier presided over the matter as a vacation judge, had in a ruling he delivered on July 28, declined to issue an interim order of injunction against Saraki and Ekweremadu

TheAdvocate:
Abu Ibrahim, Kabir Marafa, Ajayi Boroffice, Olugbenga Ashafa and Suleiman Hunkuni, applied to withdraw the suit not because it was overtaken by events but because they got juicy committee appointments.

The offence was for forgery of Senate Standing Rules abi?

Can a crime be resolved or overtaken by events?
There was no crime in the first place,which is why the Police tactically dodged being deeply involved

no sir, while you read you need to understand the legal translation of the case, to start with; the forgery case is embarrasingly faulty and filled with various fabrications ab-initio, the use of word 'forgery' was 'a pre-empt' and 'a contempt to the court' since court is yet to make a pronouncement maybe there was a forgery or not! but rather the plaintiffs jump the gun wrongly to make the court looks as if they are 'sitting on forgery appeal case' which is still yet to be decided, and so the case suffered a deadly blow when the first judge justice Kolawole refused to 'grant an interim injunction stoping both saraki and deputy from carrying on their leadership duties,the case was lost from that point (july 28th) and what justice Ademola did was to nail the coffin and throw out the defective case, the reason was contained in the OP,read again;
''They noted that the Senate leadership under Saraki and Ekweremadu, despite the pendency of the suit, had carried out several legislative actions, among which they said included the constitution of different committees for the 8th Senate''.
''Justice Gabriel Kolawole, who earlier presided over the matter as a vacation judge, had in a ruling he delivered on July 28, declined to issue an interim order of injunction against Saraki and Ekweremadu''

They were only trying to impress ignorant supporters of theirs like your self and boost the propaganda by their media outlets like the PUNCH and Nation newspapers

APC lies being debunked daily.

It's increasingly becoming apparent that this government is a joke!

After all the noise of Senate rule forgery by the DSP, they couldn't even make a good presentation in court, only for their petition to be struck out.

What a shame!
