AGF Appears in National Assembly after threat by the senate to invoke constitutional provisions following initial excuses not to appear before a Committee of the Senate.

Our correspondent JAMES IGAH reports that AGF MALAMI is expected to meet the Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters.

 
The Attorney General of the Federation is meant to explain to the Senate Committee why he filed criminal charges against the Senate President, the Deputy Senate President and two others for alleged conspiracy and forgery.

The Senate yesterday decided to allow one more chance for ABUBAKAR MALAMI to appear before the committee after the chamber was briefed by the Chairman of the Committee.

MALAMI had ignored two previous invitations by the Senate, while a lawyer he sent to represent him in the first instance was rejected by the Senate Committee.

At the moment, the AGF arrived at the Senate Chamber while the lawmakers were still in plenary, and he had to wait.
