The House of Representatives Committee on Constitution Review is recommending an immunity clause for the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Reps and heads of the judiciary.

This is contained in the report of the constitution amendment Bill presented before the House by the Chairman of the Review Committee, Rep. Ahmed Wase, in Abuja.

In the report presented by Wase, the committee recommended immunity for presiding officers of the legislature and judiciary.

The Spokesperson for the House Rep. Benjamin Kalu, while briefing newsmen, stated that since the executive is enjoying immunity, the legislative should also enjoy it.

He also added that the legislative should be part of the security council so that they could be part of the decision-making because they pass bills and move motion to that effect

Rep. Segun Odebunmi, APC-Oyo sponsored the Bill.

Agency reports say that the committee earlier stepped down the bill during the meeting between the committee and consultants, adding that several lawmakers in the committee also spoke against the bill.
