By Olusegun Lawrence Nigerian Senate on Wednesday summoned Professor Itse Sagay, to appear before it over comment considered offensive by the Senators.
Prof Sagay, a constitutional lawyer and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), chairs the Presidential Advisory Committee on anti-corruption.
The summon was issued sequel to a Point of Order raised by the Deputy Senate Leader, Bala ibn Na’allah calling the attention of his colleagues to a newspaper report.
Prof Sagay had on Tuesday, reported by the newspaper as saying that most Senators are people of questionable character.
Prompt News recalls that the anti-corruption chair had also recently said that Ibrahim Magu would continue to function as EFCC chairman in acting capacity with or without Senate confirmation.
