The Nigerian Senate has suspended former majority leader Ali Ndume for six months for bringing unproven allegations against his colleagues Senator Dino Melaye and Senate President Bukola Saraki.
NAIJ.com gathered that the move is one of the recommendations of the Senate Committee on Ethics and Privileges which probed the allegations of certificate forgery against Melaye and avenging of seized bulletproof Range Rover against Saraki.
Tendering the report for approval before the senators on Wednesday, March 29, Senator Sam Nwanyanwu said the allegations brought against the two senators by Ndume were false after due investigation.
The report, which was signed by two-thirds of the committee, cleared Saraki and Melaye of any wrongdoing but suspended Ndume for failing to conduct proper investigation before making the allegations. According to the committee, Ndume was the one that dragged Saraki's name into the matter of the seized bulletproof Range Rover based on a false report he acquired from social media. The report said Saraki's name was not in any way tied to the seized vehicle and Ndume brought the position of the Senate President and the entire Red Chamber to disrepute by tying it to the matter.
Gistlite.com gathered further that Ndume had told the Ethics committee during the investigative hearing that he did not make allegations or raise petitions against Saraki and Melaye but only raised the issues he read in the newspapers because he wanted the Senate to clear its name.
