Omo-Agege had on Wednesday,
allegedly stormed the senate with unidentified persons who made away with the
mace.
The act caused chaos in the red
chamber for a while, until a spare mace was brought in to enable the lawmakers
reconvene plenary.
Omo-Agege later joined his
colleagues in plenary but was subsequently led away by the police.
The suspended lawmaker said he
was not arrested but “merely” left with the police who wanted to hear his
perspective on the matter
However, Omo-Agege’s lawyers
approached the court on Thursday to seek an interim injunction against arrest
or detention of the senator.
The team of lawyers led by Aliyu
Umar, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN) asked the court to restrain the
respondents, listed to include attorney-general of the federation (AGF),
inspector-general of police (IGP), commissioner of police FCT command and the
director-general of the state security service (SSS), from attempting to
threaten or violate the fundamental human rights of the applicant.
Ishaq Bello, the presiding judge,
granted all the four prayers.
He reassigned the case to court
30 for hearing of motion on notice and adjourned till May 6.
