Protest: Honour Police Invitation, Court Tells Saraki, Melaye, Murray-Bruce - THISDAYLIVE

Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court Abuja, on Thursday, ordered the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, Senators Dino Melaye and Ben Murray-Bruce to immediately honour the invitation of the police over alleged attack on some policemen during the Peoples Democratic Party’s protest over the outcome of the Osun State governorship election on October 5, 2018.

They had also prayed the court to stop the Inspector General of Police and FCT Commissioner of Police from inviting them, harrassing and intimidating them over the incident. “The invitation of the applicants on the 6, 8 October 2018, remains valid and subsisting. The applicants should without fail report to police.

The judge said by rushing to the court on mere invitation to file application on breach of fundamental human rights was against the constitutional role of the police. “They ought to report to police on invitation, it is the outcome of the invitation that could be said to breach of fundamental human rights. The court cannot question the police on invitation, nor can the court restrain the police from their lawful role,” Abang said.

“In this case, the three senators filed one suit. They didn’t file separate application nor deposed to any affidavit, which is required in fundamental human rights case.

Witch hunting.
