Court orders National Assembly to begin impeachment process against Buhari
A Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo has granted an order of mandamus to compel the National Assembly to begin impeachment process against President Muhammadu Buhari , based on some alleged constitutional breaches .
Justice Maureen Onyetenu gave the ex parte order on Wednesday , following a motion filed before her by the Chairman , Nigeria Bar Association , Ilesa branch, Mr . Kanmi Ajibola ; and a human rights activist , Mr . Suleiman Adeniyi .
The activists had , about three months ago , written to the Senate and the House of Representatives to begin impeachment process against the President , based on the continuous killings and spending without lawmakers ’ approval.
However , the duo approached the court seeking an order to compel the National Assembly to begin the process following their refusal to impeach Buhari based on the activists ’ letters .
They alleged that the President did not possess a certificate to be qualified as a President and should be impeached based on this and other alleged impeachable offences .
The judge , in her ruling , granted the leave to compel the National Assembly to commence impeachment process against the President
