The Nation reports that the lawmakers
were sued at a Federal High Court Abuja
by a Lagos businessman Raji Rasheed
Oyewumi who is seeking the
nullification of the screening of Magu
by the Nigerian Senate.

Oyewunmi also wants the court to
declare Bukola Saraki and 10 Senators
who are presently being investigated by
EFCC as not having the moral right to
have participated in the screening of
Magu because of conflict of interest.
For this reason, he said the court should
disqualify Saraki and the 10 Senators
from further participating in the
screening of Magu and also declare the
screening of Magu on March 15 without
first referring him to the appropriate
committee of the Senate as illegal, null,
void and of no effect whatsoever.
The 10 other senators listed as
defendants in the suit are:
1. Godswill Akpabio
2. Jonah Jang
3. Aliyu Wammako
4. Stella Oduah
5. Theodore Orji
6. Rabiu Kwankwaso
7. Ahmed Sani
8. Danjuma Goje
9. Joshua Dariye
10. Adamu Abdullahi.

Also joined in the suit are Clerk to the
National Assembly, the Senate, the
Attorney-General of the Federation and
the acting EFCC chairman Magu.
Meanwhile, NAIJ.com gathered that a
group of Young Professionals in the All
Progressives Congress (APC), known as
the APC Young Patriots, have vowed to
resist any attempt to undermine the
independence of the Senate.
The group said it will mobilize against
any attempt to malign the person of Dr.
Bukola Saraki, the president of the
Senate.
The APC Young Patriots expressed worry
that “ some hired agents of the state ”
have regrouped to launch a wicked
onslaught against the Senate, warning
that this could derail democracy.
