Ndume suspended for 6 months
The Nigerian Senate has
suspended Senator Ali Ndume for six months.
The suspend lawmaker
was accused of bringing unfounded and unverified allegations against the Senate
President and Senator Dino Melaye.
The decision to Suspend
the former majority leader was taken by the Senate after considering the report
of its Committee on Ethics and Privileges which was directed to investigate the
matter.
The report submitted by
the committee recommended that Senator Ndume be suspended for 181 sitting days,
for bringing dishonor on the senate but a Federal lawmaker appealed that he
should be suspended for six months instead.
