A former chairman, House of Representative Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumini Jibrin, has asked the Federal High Court, Abuja, to restrain the leadership of the House of Representatives from suspending him.
Mr. Jibrin, representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency of Kano State, urged the court, to set aside the decision of the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara and Uzoma Abonta, pending the determination of the case.
He also asked the court to declare as illegal, the decision of the House to suspend him without allowing the external investigation committee to probe his allegations of budget padding.
Justice Okon Abang of Abuja High Court sought to know if the defendants in the case were served with the court processes when the case came up on Thursday
Mohammed Suleiman, cousel to Jibril told the court that the plaintiff was yet to serve the defendants with the motion.Mr. Abang therefore directed that all parties in the suit be put on notice before he could entertain the application,while he adjourned the case to 25th August
