The clerk, on the other hand, maintained that Bulkachuwa had no cause of action against him (2nd defendant) to warrant the filing of the complaint.The Clerk of the National Assembly (NASS), Magaji Tambuwal, told a Federal High Court in Abuja that Sen. Adamu Bulkachuwa was immune from any form of proceedings relating to statements spoken or written during the plenary session.According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Bulkachuwa sued the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), the NASS clerk, the State Security Service, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC), and the Nigeria Police Force as the first to fifth defendants. The plaintiff asked the court to declare that he “is covered, privileged and protected by the parliamentary immunity as enshrined in Section 1 of the Legislative Houses (Powers and Privileges) Act 2017 and freedom of speech and expression made thereto is privileged.”
