…..orders relevant processes be served all parties

BY ANTHONY OCHELA, ABUJA

Justice Obiora Egwatu of the Federal High Court, Abuja has adjourned the suit filed by the Senator Representing Kogi Central Senatorial District, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan till March, 25th, 2025.

Sen. Natasha had approached the Federal High Court, seeking an Order restraining the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges of the Senate from investigating her.

The Court subsequently granted the order last week but the Senate on Thursday suspended her for six months after it considered the report of the Committee.

At the resumed hearing on Monday, Counsels to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd defendants told the court that they have not been served.

Counsel to the Claimant, Michael Numa, (SAN), insisted before the Court that all parties had been served adding that affidavits of service were before the Court.

After going through the affidavits of service before the court, Justice Egwatu confirmed service of all processes on all Defendants.

At this point, Counsel to the 3rd Defendant, the Senate President, Kehinde Ogunwumiju, prayed the court for an adjournment for all processes to be harmonized.

Others Counsels supported the move stressing that, this will facilitate accelerated hearing at the next adjourned date.

Justice Egwatu, subsequently, adjourned the matter to March 25th, 2025 and ordered that all the relevant processes should be served on parties before the adjourned date.
