Alison-Madueke gets court injunction stopping reps from probing N10b jet scandal

Minister of Petroleum, Dieziani Alison-Madueke, who has been in the middle of a 10bn jet scandal has secured a court injunction stopping the House of Representatives from further investigating her, Premium Times reports. Alison-Madueke had approached a federal high court in Abuja where she asked the court to restrain the House members to discontinue any probe involving her.

Justice . R. Mohammed who presided over the case, barred the house members or their committees  from summoning her for any further investigations or even ordering her arrest if she failed to appear before the house. According to reports, the court injuction was secured on April 14th but was only made public today as the House intended to commence further investigation on the matter today.
Speaking on the court injunction, the Chairman of the House Public Accounts Committee, Solomon Olamilekan said they were surprised by the court injunction.
"Today is April 28, the committee scheduled to receive the honourable Minister of Petroleum Resources and other agencies that have stake in this investigation. But as we speak, there is a court order, which has been served to the office of the speaker, even though the committee has not gotten the copy of that order. The nature of the court order is simple. They are just restraining us from carrying out our own investigation" he said.
Spokesperson of the house,  Zakary Mohammed said the house would obey the court injunction
"As a law abiding arm of government, we will tarry a while and of course take a legal opinion as far as issues are concerned" he said
A member of the House, Samuel Adejare had on  March 20th presented a motion before the house accusing the minister of committing about 500,000 Euros (N130 million naira) monthly to maintain an aircraft for her personal use and those of her immediate family.

No be small yeye dey smell ah dey tell you...This move she executed shows how "SUPER CONNECTED" she is........Top four most mouthed people in Nigeria Currently , she dey among...


Now let's reason this logically Y'all.....

In this Democratic dispensation where officials elected into office are supposed to be held ACCOUNTABLE by the Citizens, this woman has been accused of GROSS FISCAL MISCONDUCT..

Instead of her to humbly come before the lower house to explain her conduct she obtains a court injunction barring it......

It shows that her hands are not clean and she doesn't even RESPECT Nigerians enough to answer for her actions.....

The way the Nation is being run nowadays shows that some people are UNTOUCHABLE!....Not like am suprised cause Dieziani is like our Prime minister and her President is solidly behind her.

These leaders should take caution,.....one of these days ah swear it will backfire on them.......In any society where the leaders keep Getting Fat, and the masses are "Kwashiokoring"...one day, one day the people will revolt!

#20 billion still unaccounted for...lol.

So many others have taken that route in Nigeria, so, it is not out of place for her to same route. In fact, she will be a fool not to avail herself of that opportunity. Besides, the members of the house can and do witch hunt people unnecessary. If you are a government official, and you are not amenable to greasing of palms, there is very high tendency that you will be witch hunted. All these not with standing, it is my sincere conclusion, that the members of the legislature have lost all modicum of credibility to investigate any allegation of corruption whatsoever, since they themselves, indulge in corrupt practices. He who goes to equity, must go with clean hands. Their hands are not clean, thus, they lack the moral foundation to investigate others. No report of any investigation that they may conduct, will be credible, it will always be taken with a grain of salt both by Nigerians and the International community. If the government is desirous of probing the minister, let them set up an independent and an unbiased panel to do that, not members of the legislature.

People, before you start to castigate the Judiciary, it is important that you know the facts. I happen to have been at the Fed. High Court 7, Abuja in respect of another matter on one of the occasions this matter came up for hearing . From what I understood from the proceedings when the matter was called up, Madueke had filed a case against the House of Reps asking for some reliefs; then she filed an Exparte Motion to stop the Reps from going on with their investigation PENDING THE HEARING AND DETERMINATION of the substantive case she filed. The Judge refused to grant the order the first day her lawyers came to move the exparte application and instead suo moto directed that Notice be issued to the House of Reps to show cause why the exparte application should not be granted and adjourned the case to 17th of April 2014. On the 17-04-2014, which was the day the matter was adjourned to (which was the day I was in Court for another matter), the Reps did not show up or have any lawyer representing them come to Court to show cause why the order sought should not be granted. Even though the Court was satisfied from its records that the House of Reps had been duly served, it nonetheless decided to further adjourn the case to the 28th of April 2014 and ordered the officials of the Court to serve a new Hearing Notice to the Reps against that date. So we need to know what happened in Court on the 28th April; Did the Reps or their Counsels turn up in Court to show cause why the Order should not be granted? If they did not turn up again and made no representations, then the Court will have had no choice than to grant the order sought once it is convinced and satisfied they have been duly served but declined to come and join issues. I don't know what happened on the 28th April as I was not in that Court but I am just saying, we need to have the full details before we all go off cursing the Judiciary. Moreover, it is not a final Judgment but just a temporary stay pending the hearing and determination of the substantive case.

It's right time we Nigerians should start taking laws into our hand. Since there are some stupid Nigerian Bastard that are above the law.. Firstly that judge that make that court order should be kidnapped and killed, record everything and make it known in the video tape the purpose of his punishment and send the tape to one purpular TV station. Dis is what d modafucker boko haram should be doing instead of killing innocent pple. I wish I can have the skills of Oliver Queen in Arrows. All of dem bad leaders will just be a dead fish.

Everyone want to occupy mainly to loot. i think i am wasting my effort and time typing bcos it will not change a thing. BABA GOD TAKE CONTROL

Anonymous said...

Dear Libers, I do not think the Court granted such Injunction. Actually what the Court did was to refuse the move to hear the Ex parte Motion seeking such restraining injunction and order Counsel for MPR to put NASS (as the Respondents) on notice so all parties could be heard on the merits of the application. I think its a misconception by the news media that the order for injunction was granted.

Dishonourable members please leave our women alone in this cabinet. U guys are the bigger thieves. What was ur members doing with the oversight function like when you went for inspection?
