You’ve No Power To Order My Impeachment–Tinubu Tells Court

President Bola Tinubu has requested the Federal High Court in Abuja to dismiss a suit seeking to compel the National Assembly to initiate impeachment proceedings against him over alleged rights violations.

The suit, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/1334/2024, was filed by legal practitioner Mr. Olukoya Ogungbeje.

The plaintiff, whose suit names the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, SAN, as the second defendant, is seeking six principal reliefs from the court.

He urged the court to declare that the alleged persistent suppression of peaceful protests organized by Nigerian citizens by President Tinubu's administration amounts to an impeachable offence.
