The Senate president and his deputy, the former chief clerk of the national assembly chief clerk, Salisu Maikasu, and his deputy, Benedict Efeturi have been accused of conspiracy and forgery of Senate Standing Rules that produced Saraki and Ekweremadu as Senate President and deputy in 2015.

The suit followed a petition to the inspector general of police calling for investigation into the allegation of the forgery of the Senate rules by the secretary to the anti-Saraki Unitu Forum, Suleiman Hunkuyi.

Based on Hunkuyi’s petition, forgery charges were levelled against Saraki and the three other men in question, with the police submitting the details of his preliminary reports to the nation’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami. The PDP said the charges against the principal officers of the Senate will destroy the country’s democracy and described it as tyrannical.
