Alison-Madueke: Nigerian House Of Impunity (Rep) Ignores Court Summons The 2nd Time Over N10 billion Jet Spending Investigation!

In our earlier post on Mrs Alison-Madueke's alleged spending of N10billion of taxpayers money on private jet, you would recall we did mention the reason we felt the Federal House Of Representative did not appear before the Abuja High as requested by the judge. And that was possibly because the House feels they are the only one who has the right to summon ''be you who'' to appear before it. 

This insinuation was confirmed as a fact today as the House again refused to answer court's summons the second time to explain where it got the information that the court has stopped the investigation of the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, for allegedly expending about N10billion in hiring aircraft.
The court insisted that the order it made on April 29 stands and that House of Representatives must obey the order by appearing before it.

Justice Ahmed Mohammed had made the order on April 29 upon media reports quoting the House of Representatives’ spokesman, Zakari Mohammed, as claiming that the planned investigation of Alison-Madueke and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation by the House’s Committee on Public Accounts had been stopped by the court.

The House of Representatives reportedly told the media on April 28 (a day the Minister and top officials of NNPC were expected to appear before it) that it was suspending its investigation into the N10b aircraft lease allegation on account of a purported restraining order from the court.
On Monday, the House was neither represented by its official nor a lawyer, prompting plaintiff’s lawyer, Etigwe Uwa (SAN) to observe that the House of Reps (who is the 2nd defendant in the case) was treating the case with levity and urged the court to compel its appearance in court.

Uwa noted that the House has consistently refused to attend court despite being served with court processes and hearing notices as directed by the court.
