HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES IN DILEMMA OVER S*X SCANDAL

House of representative

As a result of the sex scandal faced by some members of the House of Representatives, the House is making frantic effort to have an audience with the U.S. Ambassador in Nigeria, Mr. James Entwistle after an investigative public hearing fixed for Thursday was ignored by the envoy.


Prior to the decision to meet the U.S. Ambassador, the Lower House had insisted that the Ambassador must attend the hearing now billed to hold on 20 July.

However, Mr. Entwistle gave diplomatic immunity as his reason not to honour the invitation to appear for the public hearing.

The investigation into the sex scandal arose due to a petition made by the Ambassador to the Hon. Speaker Yakubu Dogara, where Mohammed Garba Gololo (Bauchi), Samuel Ikon (Akwa Ibom), and Mark Gbillah (Benue) of an attempted rape and soliciting s*x from commercial sex workers, while in the U.S. for an official tour in April.



It is in a bid to get to the root of the matter that the Lower House said they will be willing to go to the U.S. Ambassador.
