An Abuja Division of the Federal High Court has dismissed an application filed by Senate President, Bukola Saraki, challenging the decision of the Nigerian Police to invite him and two other senators, following a protest last October.
Police authorities had explained after dispersing the protesters with tear gas that they employed “minimum force” to prevent an alleged attempt to break into the police headquarters. The court ruled that their application fell short of the required procedure for the filing of such a fundamental rights suit.
The court also said the applicants negated the provisions of the said rule when they allowed their lawyer to depose to an affidavit on their behalf, despite the fact that they were not detained nor was their movement restrained. The judge said the lawyer who filed on behalf of the applicants failed to state whether they were in detention, hospitalised or restrained from movement, as required by the provision.
