Senator’s Removal Sought For Dual Citizenship

Senator Monsurat Sunmonu representing Oyo Central Senatorial District has been alleged for possessing dual citizenship of Nigeria and the United Kingdom. Members of her constituency have consequently filed a law suit at the Abuja Federal High Court for her removal.

The claimants are asking the court to declare that Senator Sunmonu lacked the requisite capacity to hold the office of a senator having voluntarily acquired the citizenship of United Kingdom against the letters and spirit of Section 66 (1) ( a) of the 1999 Constitution as amended.
