Presidential Panel Sues House Of Rep, Blocks Probe On Its Asset Recovery Activities
House of Representatives Speaker, Rt. Hon Dogara
The Special Presidential Investigation Panel led by Okoi Obono-Obla, have filed an interlocutory injunction to restrain the House of Representative from probing its asset recovery activities.
BigPen Online recalls that the House of Representatives, through its Ad Hoc Committee on Activities of the Special Presidential Investigation Panel, had given the Obono-Obla-led panel a week ultimatum to submit to its secretariat, 12 sets of documents about his panel.
This followed the lawsuit by the panel on March 21, 2018, before the Federal High Court in Abuja seeking an order of interim forfeiture of some properties belonging to the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, to the Federal Government.
The panel had sought the interim forfeiture of the said properties on the grounds that it was investigating Ekweremadu for an act of breach of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers by allegedly failing to declare the properties to the Code of Conduct Bureau.
Following this, the Obono-Obla-led panel filed a lawsuit against the House of Representatives in a SUIT NO: FHC/ABJ/CS/374/2018, to stop it from taking any further step with respect to the cases pending before the courts.
