Nigeria: FG Orders Prosecution of Senators Over Forgery of Senate Standing Orders

Nigeria's Justice Minister, Mr. Abubakar Malami, has ordered the Director of Public Prosecutions of the Federation and the police to bring charges against suspects, who allegedly forged the Senate Standing Orders used to inaugurate the 8th senate, in two weeks. 

According to Punch Newspaper, Malami gave the order after he found out last week that the ministry had since July 29, 2015, some months before his appointment, recommended the prosecution of the yet-to-be-identified suspects.

The suspects would be charged with criminal conspiracy, forgery, breach of official trust and unlawful assembly which is said to have contravened various provisions of Penal Code in about one or two weeks.
