A Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Bwari on Wednesday dismissed a suit seeking the sack of the Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege.

Delivering judgment on Wednesday, Justice Othman Musa ruled that Mr Omo-Agege has never been convicted by any court of law in the United States of America.

Justice Musa stated that the case against the Deputy Senate President in the U.S. was a disciplinary matter, which he challenged in the US Supreme Court and won. He held that in view of that, there was no basis for Mr Omo-Agege to disclose such information to the Independent National Electoral Commission ’s Form CF001 that he has been convicted of any offence.The judge held that as such, the deputy senate president has not committed any perjury as canvassed by the claimant.

The court thereafter dismissed the suit and awarded the cost of N1 million in favour of Mr Omo-Agege.

Security under Buhari has failed - Deputy Senate president, Omo-Agege cries out - Daily Post NigeriaThe Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, on Wednesday, maintained that the security architecture in Nigeria is no longer effective. Omo-Agege decried It's probably only in Nigeria that a President will say boldfacedly, as Buhari did, that he is surprised by rising insecurity in the country & still remain in office without resigning. Everyday, people are killed, & the president only makes empty threats & does nothing concrete. From a Mace thief? Precious 😂😂😂😂 Are you sure the deputy senate president said so? Because the last time we checked, he and his principal said everything from buhari is ok
