The Senate has questioned the reasons behind the moves by Attorney General to stop the Senate from probing the reinstatement of Maina into civil service. However, the Abuja High Court which Abubakar Malami approached refused to give such injunction.
Malami prayed the court to among other things, determine whether the National Assembly has the right to probe issues relating to the “employment, attendance at work, disengagement, reinstatement and or promotion of a civil servant.”
Meantime, instead of granting the ex-parte order to halt further investigation into the matter, Justice Binta Nyako who heard the application in chambers on Monday, ordered the AGF to go and put the National Assembly on notice.
The judge further directed that all the court processes should be served on the National Assembly to enable it to appear before the court to show cause why the orders sought by the AGF should not be granted.
The suit was adjourned till January 15 for the National Assembly to show cause why the ongoing probe should not be stopped
