Nguema, received the demand to appear before the DGR on October 28, Steeve Ndong Essame, State Prosecutor noted on Sunday.
Nguema, a senator from the opposition in a video posted by supporters of National Union parti ‘called for resistance to President Bongo’ and denounced what it called ‘monarchization of the Gabon in reference to plan to amend country’s constitution.
The video dates back to October 19 and is footage of an interview with French channel TV5 Monde.
Nguema indicated that he would not turn up citing his parliamentary immunity. Essame however hit back stressing that the DRC will be forced to use its means if he refuses to meet the request.
The prosecutor accused the lawmaker of inciting revolt arguing his statements in the video could be interpreted as blatant offence and enough to strip off his immunity.
