At the Federal High Court sitting yesterday in Abuja,
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu
Tambuwal request for the court to summon
the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Suleiman Abba
to appear before it was denied.
Tambuwal had wanted the IG to explain why he
ordered his men to deny the Speaker Aminu
Tambuwal, access into the premises of the National
Assembly.
The applicant told the court that the denial of the
speaker access to the National Assembly on November
20, acted in manners and ways that showed disrespect
to the court.
Tambuwal had told the court that President Goodluck
Jonathan is still recognizing him as the Speaker of the
House of Reps.
He told the court that the Presidency wrote to him in
his capacity as the Speaker of the House of Reps,
requesting for his presence at the swearing-in ceremony
of the new Chief Justice of Nigeria.
Tambuwal had been denied access to the Nigeria house
of Assembly by security men from order from the IG of
police, in which he is the speaker of the house.
