“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,” Mr. Namdas said.
Ten lawmakers were said to have attended the International Visitor Leadership Program held between 7-13 April in Cleveland, Ohio, based on invitation and three of them, from Bauchi, Akwa Ibom and Benue state, were accused of gross misconduct.
US Ambassador to Nigeria, James Entwistle in a petition, said the Department of State had reports from employees of the Cleveland hotel that lawmaker Muhammed Gololo had allegedly grabbed a housekeeper in his hotel room and solicited her for sex.
Two other lawmakers, Mark Gbillah and Samuel Ikon allegedly requested hotel parking attendants to assist them to solicit prostitutes.
The housekeeper and attendants filed a complaint at the US Mission who investigated the allegations.
