Justice Gabriel Kolawole of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, on Monday, declined to stop the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, from taking action towards prosecuting all those behind the alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Order 2015.
The court has equally refused to restrain the office of the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, from preferring criminal charges against the culprits.
The bogus Senate Standing Order was the one that was used for the conduct of the election that saw the emergence of Senators Bukola Saraki and Ike Ekweremadu as Senate President and Deputy Senate President.
Senator Gilbert Nnaji who is representing Enugu-East Senatorial District had gone before the court with an ex-parte motion wherein he applied for a restraining order against both the IGP and the AGF.
He specifically urged the court to restrain the two respondents from taking further steps on the investigation of allegation of forgery of the Senate Standing Order 2015.
But instead of acceding to Senator Nnaji’s request, Justice Kolawole ordered the plaintiff to go and put the respondents on notice to enable them appear in court on August 4, to show cause why they should not be restrained from taking further actions against Saraki and others.
