Court nullifies Jibrin’s suspension, orders payment of his salaries

Court nullifies Jibrin’s suspension, orders payment of his salaries

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Thursday nullified the suspension of a former Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin.

The House of Representatives had suspended Mr Jibrin for 180 legislative days on September 28, 2016. Mr Jibrin, who has served the suspension and rejoined his colleagues, had challenged the decision after his suspension.

Delivering judgment in the suit, Justice John Tsoho, ruled that the suspension of the lawmaker is unconstitutional and ordered the House of Representatives to pay him all the salary due to him for the period he was unjustly suspended.

He said, “The suspension was an interruption of his earning which will be automatically restored especially when it has been decided that the action was a nullity by virtue of granting prayers 1 and 3 of the originating summons,”.

Jibrin had been suspended after he repeatedly accused the Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, and other principal officers of the House of padding the 2016 budget with billions of naira, a claim they all denied.
