A Federal High
Court on Monday struck out a suit by Speaker of House of Representatives Aminu
Tambuwal challenging the withdrawal of his security details by the Police
Inspector General of Police.
Meanwhile Justice
Ahmed Mohammed's ruling followed an application by Tambuwal withdrawing the
suit against the Attorney General of the Federation and the Inspector General
of Police.
Counsel to
Tambuwal, Tunji Abayomi applied for the withdrawal of the suit on the grounds
that the speaker instructed him to do so, adding that the Code of Ethics of the
legal profession requires he complies.
Tambuwal's motion
on notice had challenged the constitutional powers of the IGP to withdraw his
security details following his defection to the opposition All Progressive
Congress (APC) on October 28 without an order of the court.
