Falana – I Defended Dino Melaye When He Was Suspended, Ndume Cannot Be Suspended

Mr Femi Falana, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, has again stated that the Senate has no right to suspend Senator Ali Ndume.

Speaking on CHANNELS TV Falana said no legislative House has the power to suspend a member even for a single day.

“The Senate labours under the very erroneous impression that it can do anything, whether allowed by law or not; particularly when it purports to exercising its oversight functions.

“Allegations of crime, certificate forgery, allegations regarding under-payment of Customs duties, are criminal offences that can only be investigated by the appropriate authorities such as the Police.”
