The Federal Government has filed charges at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, Abuja, against the embattled Senate President, Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, over the forgery of the Senate Standing Rules, following the submission of police report to the office of AGF.

Others also charged to court are the immediate past Clerk to the National Assembly, Abubakar Maikasuwa and the Deputy Clerk to the National Assembly, Benedict Efeturi.

In the Charge filed by office of AGF, the Federal Government slammed a 2-count charge on them:

“criminal conspiracy, contrary to Section 97 of the Penal Code Law” and “Forgery contrary to 362 of the Penal Code Law” against Salisu Maikasuwa, Benedict Efeturi, Bukola Saraki, and Ike Ekweremadu.

The charge sheet dated 10th June 2016 was signed by D.E Kaswe Esq., Principal State Counsel on behalf of the Attorney-General of the Federation and backed by an Affidavit of Completion of Investigation deposed to at the Federal High Court Registry, Abuja on the same date by Okara Neji Jonah, a Litigation Officer at the Federal Ministry of Justice, Abuja.

Okara maintained that “the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (FCIID) has concluded investigation of the case and has forwarded the file to the Honourable Attorney General.”

Listed as witnesses in the suit to be heard by Hon. Justice Yusuf Haliru are:

Senator Othman Hunkuyi, Senator Ahmed Lawan, Senator Abdullahi Gumel, Senator Kabiru Marafa, Senator Robert Boroffice, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, and Senator Abu Ibrahim.
