Other defendants in the suit included the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, the Inspector General of Police andDirector-General Department of State Services. In his argument, the former EFCC boss is asking “whether, in view of the provisions of sections 88 and 89 of the 1999 constitution of thefederal republic of Nigeria (as amended), the first and second defendants, their officers, members, agents or privies can ‘invite’ the plaintiff to appear before them as a person whose conduct of affairs is being investigated by them in relation to issues concerning office(s) he has already vacated”. Lamorde is also asking the court to determine whether in view of the provisions of sections 88 and 89 of the constitution, the first and second defendants, their officers, members, agents or privies can request the plaintiff to appear before them by merely writing an invitation letter to him and not issuing a summons. Lamorde is also asking the court whether, in view of the provisions of sections 88 and 89 the Senate and its Committee can issue a warrant against him without first serving him a summons, whether in view of the provisions of the constitution, the third and fourth defendants can execute any warrant issued by them against the plaintiff and which was issued without first issuing a summons to him and whether by virtue of section 36 (1) of the constitution, it is not unconstitutional for the Senate Committee to prevent his counsel from appearing on his behalf only for the purpose of raising objection to procedural defects in the invitation sent to him before the Committee. The former EFCC Chairman is therefore asking the court to declare among other things, that the Senate and its Committee lack the power to invite him as a person whose conduct of affairs is being investigated by them in relation to issues concerning office(s) he has already vacated.]]>
