Following his suspension by the Nigerian House of Representatives in September 2016, Abdulmumin Jibrin stormed the federal high court Abuja on Friday, April 28, to challenge the suspension.

Abdulmumin Jibrin was in court with about 30 attorneys, including his chief adviser, Femi Falana.
Jibrin appeared in court in the company of his electorate and about thirty lawyers, including his chief chairman, Femi Falana (SAN).

Justice Tsoho, after having been filed before and against an application by two members of the House, Nicholas Ossai, and Oker Jev, adopted May 10 as the day to determine if it is not possible, the Challenged proceedings in the case instituted by Jibrin. The legality of his suspension.

The lawmakers' advice said they were dissatisfied with the verdict of the court. The position of the two legislators to seek the hearing of proceedings was supported by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, and the House of Representatives.


The presiding judge interrupted the case until 10 May.
