Hameed Ali: Lawyer Drags Senate to Court over Uniform Saga


A legal practitioner has asked the Federal High Court Abuja to restrain the National Assembly from compelling the Comptroller General of Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (rtd.) to wear uniform in the performance of his duties.
Recall that the ‎Senate last week insisted that Ali should appear on Wednesday in Customs uniform.
The suit, filed yesterday, named Ali, the NCS, the NASS, the Senate and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) as first to fifth defendants.
The plaintiff, Mohammed Ibrahim is seeking for a court declaration that Ali’s appointment as Customs boss cannot be subject to the provisions of Customs and Excise Management Act (CEMA) or any other law.
A declaration that Ali who is not a commissioned officer of the NCS is not mandated by law to wear uniform and that the oversight functions of the National Assembly does not extend to compelling and mandating him to appear before it in uniform.
The plaintiff is also asking for an order of perpetual injunction restraining both the NASS and the Senate from compelling Ali to wear uniform in the performance of his duties.

How FG Imposed Illegal Electricity Tariff on Nigerians

Image
A new investigative research has shown that the Federal Government imposed illegal electricity tariff on Nigerians adding to the suffering of the poor masses.   The new increased electricity tariff rolled out on February 1 by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, was illegally imposed on consumers, an icirnigeria.org investigation has shown.   The power regulatory agency commenced with the new tariff, which increased charges for electricity consumption by 55 per cent to 65 per cent, in defiance of the law setting it up.   From all indications, the federal government might be forced to pay back to Nigerians the increased rate they have paid to electricity supply since February 1 when the new tariff regime took effect   Specifically, the announcement of the new tariffs breaches Section 76 sub sections 6, 7 and 9 of the Electric Power Sector Reform Act of 2005.   Section 76 (6) requires the NERC to gazette any rev...
