To do this, the Senate, on Thursday, December 12, asked its committee on judiciary, rights and legal matters to begin the investigation.
The action of the Senate was the result of a 'point of order' moved by Opeyemi Bamidele, a senator representing Ekiti Central on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Senator Bamidele made his argument citing order 43 of the standing rule of the upper chamber.
According to him, the Senate must act concerning this issue since its members are representing Nigerians.
In taking action, the president of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, asked the committee headed by Senator Bamidele to investigate the matter and report back in one week.
Legit.ng reported that the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) on Saturday, December 7, condemned the attack and re-arrest of Omoyele Sowore by the DSS operatives inside the Federal High in Abuja.
CUPP described the action of the SSS operatives as treason against Nigeria's constitutional governance.
Meanwhile, the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and minister of justice, Abubakar Malami, on Wednesday, December 11, said the federal government would investigate the invasion of the court by the DSS operatives.
The AGF who spoke to journalists after he paid a courtesy visit to the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice John Tsoho, said the government has put in place a mechanism to investigate the incident.
Sowore's revolution will not bring peace to Nigeria
