The Incorporated
Trustees of Empowerment for Unemployed Youths Initiative has asked the Federal
High Court, Abuja, to probe the Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege.
The suit seeking his
investigation by the Department of State Services, (DSS) and the Police was filed
on Monday.
The group wants
agencies to take action over the DSP’s alleged conviction in the United States
in November 1995, NAN reports.
An ex parte motion
prayed the court to order Omo-Agege to step down from his position pending the
completion of the investigation.
Their lawyer, Edward
Omaga, said this would ensure transparency and non-interference.
The group also
prayed the court to declare that refusal of the DSS and the Police to
investigate Omo-Agege would be deemed wrongful and tantamount to dereliction of
duties under the relevant laws that established them.
Omaga, in an
affidavit, said any action or inaction of persons occupying elective and
appointive positions would have a direct impact on the overwhelming unemployed
youths in the country.
No date has been
fixed for hearing in the suit.
