... As court restrains committee
The Kogi never ending drama has taken another twist as the group of 5 State Assembly Members loyal to the Executive Governor of Kogi State- Alhaji Yahaya Bello have secured a court injunction seeking to restrain the fact finding committee raised by the National Assembly to resolve the crisis surrounding the failed attempt to impeach the speaker - Rt Hon Momoh Jimoh Lawal.
The fact finding committee is expected in Lokoja tomorrow, may meet the brick wall in its assignment following the injunction as the committee is said to be interfering in a matter outside its jurisdiction.
The effort to secure restrain the committee from carrying out its function was made known by Hon Friday Makama the leader of the integrity group who addressed the press outside the court premises in Lokoja after securing the injunction.
He said "Under no circumstances will the so called committee be allowed to interfere in the affairs of Kogi State Assembly. They should stay in Abuja and face their business while we face ours here. We have a right to choose our leader and we have done so by electing Rt Hon Alfa Imam as our speaker" Hon Makama added.
It will be recalled that a 10 man fact finding committee headed by the deputy whip- Hon Pally Iriase was set up yesterday by the house to resolve the kogi assembly crisis and report back within a week.
