The eight suspended members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly have dragged the Speaker, Bilyaminu Moriki, and six others to the Federal High Court, Gusau, the state capital.
The state House of Assembly had suspended the eight members for the alleged violation of the law and constitution of the assembly.
However, the suspended lawmakers headed to court, challenging the breach of their constitutional rights to liberty, human dignity, fair hearing, and taking possession of their property without due process.
Others that were joined in the suit included the state Commissioner of Justice, the Clerk of the House, the state Commissioner of police, and the Director of the Department of State Services.
The presiding judge, Justice Aminu Bappa, granted the motion and adjourned the case to April 29 for hearing to enable the court to serve respondents who complained that they were not served with any letter by the registry.
