Aminu Tambuwal 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. Justice Ahmed Mohammeds 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. Tambuwals 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.
