Senate panel rejects AGF’s representative, minister’s aide kicks

Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami

The Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters, on Thursday, walked out the Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Prosecution, Mr. Okoi Obono-Obla, who was in the upper chamber to represent the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami.

Malami was summoned by the red chamber following its resolution that the nation’s chief law officer should be asked to explain the rationale by his office to prosecute Senate President Bukola Saraki and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, and two others for the alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Order 2015.
