Enugu—CONTROVERSY surrounding the alleged forgery of the Senate rule prior to the inauguration of the 8th Senate is still raging as the police high command has been criticized for delay in the prosecution of the suspects connected with the purported forgery.

The backlash came from a rights group,  Centre for the Vulnerable and the Underprivileged, Centrep, who warned that any attempt by the police to adopt political solution in resolving the issue would amount to compounding felony.

Senate Deputy President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, who is at the centre of the storm, said recently in Enugu that he was not under investigation by the police.

According to him: “I am sure you are seeing and hearing what they say in the media. Most of those things are certainly not true. No police are investigating me, because there is nothing to investigate. It is only APC and their media that are investigating. What is happening in the Senate is purely Senate affairs and will remain as that,” he maintained.
