Giving the order yesterday, Justice M. A. Nasir, who sat as a vacation Judge of the FCT High Court sopped the AGF and the Police from taking anu action on the Senate President pending the hearing of the substantive suit numbered, CV/2454/18, filled by ten Human right lawyers.

The court issued the order while delivering ruling in the motion numbered, M/8280/2018 brought before the court by the human right lawyers led by Barrister Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, the National chairman of the APP.
