A former Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin, has asked the Federal High Court, Abuja to restrain the leadership of the House of Representatives from suspending him.
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.
However, when the case came up for hearing, Justice Okon Abang sought to know if the defendants in the case were served with the court processes.
Counsel to Jibrin, Mohammed Suleiman, informed the court that the plaintiff was yet to serve the defendants with the motion.
Abang therefore directed that all parties in the suit be put on notice before he could entertain the application.
He adjourned the hearing till August 25.
