Former Minority leader of Kogi
state House of Assembly and member representing Igalamela/Odolu State
constituency Hon. Friday Sani Makama has approached the Kogi State High Court
for committal to prison of the House Speaker, Hon. Matthew Kolawole.
Joined in the suit were Kogi
state governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, the state Commissioner of Justice, the
Accountant General and one Hon. Godwin Osuyi as judgement debtors and
respondents.
Makama, in the suit through his
Counsel, J. S. Okutepa (SAN) claimed that the respondents have disobeyed the
state High Court judgement for his reinstatement and payment of arrears of his
salaries and allowances.
Copies of form (48) and (49)
documents issued by the court showed
that the judgement debtors/respondents have been put on notice by the court.
Meanwhile, the attendance
register of plenaries presided by the former Speaker, Hon, Umar Imam indicated
‘absent’ for Hon. Friday Sani Makama on 3rd, 15th and 16th August, until the
register recorded suspension against Makama when the new Speaker took over on
the 23rd August, 2017.
Kogi State High Court sitting in
Lokoja had delivered a judgment on the 29th of June, 2017 in which it quashed
suspension of the embattled lawmaker.
It ordered the reinstatement and
payment of all entitlements to him.
