Friday Sanni Makama filed a suit before a Kogi State High Court in Idah seeking a Restraining Order against the State legislature, the Minority Leader and the State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, the State House of Assembly has unanimously suspended him for six months on allegations of anti legislative activities.
