A Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday, fixed October 25 for judgement in a suit filed by Senator Adamu Bulkachuwa against the Attorney-General of the Federation, *the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission,* Department of State Services, and the Nigerian Police Force.
Bulkachuwa had publicly reportedly stated during the valedictory session of the 9th Senate that he influenced his wife, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa’s decisions while she was serving as the President of the Court of Appeal.
Justice Bulkachuwa was the President of the Court of Appeal between 2014 and 2020 and retired from the court after reaching the mandatory age of 70.
Bulkachuwa files suit to stop ICPC’s investigation, arrest
*Bulkachuwa in the lawsuit, accused the ICPC, DSS, and others of colluding with his political enemies to harass him* following his valedictory comment on the floor of the Senate, which he said his political enemies continued to misrepresent.
Bulkachuwa stated that he was surprised to receive an invitation from the ICPC, asking him to report for an interview on June 22 for interrogation over his comment on the floor of the Senate.
He argued that by law, it was only the Senate in session (committee of the whole) or any of its sub-committees that had the disciplinary power to invite him to answer any question or questions relating to his conduct or utterances on the floor of the upper chamber.
