The Federal High Court on Thursday warned the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, over the imprisonment proceedings initiated against him by the Delta-Central senator, Ovie Omo-Agege.

Omo-Agege had initiated the committal proceedings praying that Saraki be sent to prison as punishment for flouting the May 10 judgment of the court which ordered him (Omo-Agege) to be reinstated from illegal suspension and be paid all his accrued benefits for the period of the voided suspension.



The hearing of the committal proceedings was scheduled for Thursday, but the alleged contemnor and his lawyers were absent from court.

Ruling on a request by Omo-Agege’s lawyer, Dr. Alex Izinyon (SAN), to have the committal application heard despite the absence of the defence, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba said he was more inclined to giving the Senate President another chance to “remedy the alleged wrong” or appear in court to defend himself.

Justice Dimgba noted that the application was truly “ripe for hearing,” as argued by Izinyon, as the court’s records showed that Saraki had been served with the motion on notice and hearing notice for the Thursday’s proceedings via a newspaper publication of September 25, 2018 as earlier ordered by the court.

The judge, however, said he would give Saraki another chance to remedy the alleged wrong or appear in court to defend himself.

He also directed Izinyon to write the Senate President and the legal department of the Senate, informing them of the adjournment of the proceedings till October 18.

Some people will not learn.
The more you lots are branding Buhari as pro north, the more the northerns will willing to vote for him.
The same mistake PDP made in 2015 through their unguarded statements from PEJ, FFK, Methu, Okupd etc demonizing the APC as a Muslim/ Fulani party.
The same sentiments made the Northerners who are majorly Muslim and Fulani to vote enmass for the APC.
Even PDP National chairman as at then, openly campaigned for PMB.
My advice for PDP and their praise singers , especially the southerners is to based their argument on performance and infrastructures deficits without religious and tribal colorations.
Otherwise, what befell them in 2015 is waiting for them in 2019.
