Justice Gabriel Kolawole of the Federal High Court, Abuja has granted an Order of Interim Injunction restraining the Senate and its Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions from issuing any Warrant of Arrest against the former Chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Lamorde pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice for Interlocutory Injunction. This was sequel to the fact that despite the pendency of Lamorde’s suit in court challenging the powers of the Senate to issue a Warrant of Arrest when a proper Summons to appear had not been issued against him, the Senate still went ahead to pass a Resolution to issue a Warrant of Arrest against Lamorde. The Court had to intervene at this stage by granting and Injunction against the Senate.
