The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has ordered an immediate investigation into the three House members, Mohammed Garba Gololo (APC – Bauchi), Samuel Ikon (PDP – Akwa Ibom), and Mark Gbillah (APC – Benue), accused of committing sexual misconduct while on an official visit to the US.
Following the withdrawal of the Visas from the three lawmakers by the US, and in response to the allegations contained in a petition filed by the US ambassador to Nigeria, the Chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Abdulrazak Namdas, confirmed this in Abuja.
“We are in receipt of a letter from the US ambassador alleging misconduct by some members of the National Assembly who attended a training program 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,” he said.
