Court threatens to jail Saraki, NASS clerk over Kogi Senator

The court had ordered Saraki and Sani-Omolori to swear-in Air vice Marshal Isaac Mohammed Alfa as the Senator representing Kogi east, just as it ordered Senator Attai Aidoko to vacate the seat because he was not validly elected.addition ordered Independent National Electoral Commission to re-issue certificate of return in favour of Alfa.

But Alfa’s lawyer, Reuben Egwuaba, applied for ‘’Form 48’’ which is a ’’notice of consequences of disobedience to order of the Federal High Court, Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court’’. Justice Inyang Ekwo held that Saraki and Sani-Omolori should, ‘’take notice that unless you obey the order contained in this order you will be guilty of contempt of court and will be liable to be committed to prison’’.
