Forgery Suit Against The Leadership Of The Senate Struck Out

It is no longer news that both the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu are both standing trial for forgery.

Justice Adeniyi terminated further hearing on the matter after the plaintiffs who are five Senators
Abu Ibrahim, Kabir Marafa, Ajayi Boroffice, Olugbenga Ashafa and Suleiman Hunkuni, applied to withdraw the suit.

At the resumed sitting on the case yesterday, the plaintiffs, through their
lawyer Chief Mamman Osuman (SAN), said their decision to discontinue further hearing on the
matter was in view of the fact that the essence of the suit had been overtaken by events.

They noted that the Senate leadership under Saraki and Ekweremadu, despite the pendency of the suit, had carried out several legislative actions, among which they said included the constitution of different committees for the 8th Senate.
