Ndume instigates Senate to probe Saraki, Melaye

The Senate, on Tuesday, gave nod to a motion, sponsored by the immediate-past Senate Leader, Ali Ndume, wherein he called on the Red Chamber to investigate the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki and Dino Melaye.

Senator Ndume, who came under a motion of national importance, said Saraki, according to a story published by Sahara Reporters, sanctioned the summon of the Comptroller General of Nigerian Customs Service (NCS), over claims that his bullet proof Ranger Rover Sport was impounded.

On the part of Melaye, Ndume said the same online platform, published a story that the Kogi State born Senator, did not obtain a degree in Geography from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.

Ndume made references to four instances. He said former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Salisu Buhari was accused of certificate forgery and how he eventually cleared his name.

He said former Senate President, Adolphus Wabara was also accused when he held sway as Senate boss. According to Ndume, Wabara also cleared his name.

He said the current Governor of Katsina State, Aminu Bello Masari, as Speaker of the House of Representatives, was accused of certificate forgery, but went ahead and cleared his name.

His last reference was made to Dimeji Bankole, a former Speaker of the House of Representatives. He said he was accused of not writing his Senior Secondary School Examination. Again, Ndume said he cleared his name.

With the nod of Ekweremadu, Ndume submitted some newspaper publications, after which the matter was referred to the Senate committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions for further investigation.
