Chairman, House Committee
on Media and Public Affairs, Abdulrazak Namdas explained that the leadership of
the House decided to investigate the s*x scandal following a formal complaint
made by the US Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr James Entwistle.
The Speaker of the House of
Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, on Thursday, directed the investigation of three
members of the House for an alleged s*x scandal while in America.
Namdas, confirmed this in
Abuja just as investigations had shown that the US Embassy had cancelled the
visas of the affected members.
He said:
“We are in receipt of a
letter from the US Ambassador, alleging misconduct by some members of the
National Assembly, who attended training in the United States of America.
“The leadership of the
House has commenced its own part of the investigation. When it is concluded, we
will brief Nigerians further on this issue.”
The affected members –
Mohammed Garba-Gololo
(Bauchi State); Terse Gbillah (Benue State), and Samuel Ikon (Cross River ) –
who allegedly committed the act during a recent trip to the US to participate
in the International Visitor Leadership Programme on Good Governance organised
by the US Government.
Sources say US officials
have evidence against the lawmakers, hence the decision to cancel their visas.
Nigerians disgracing themselves everywhere
