The United States government
has cancelled the visas of the three house of Representatives members, Samuel
Ikon (PDP, Akwa Ibom), Mohammed Gololo (APC, Bauchi) and Mark Gbillah (APC,
Benue), who are been accused of alleged sexual misconduct while on an official
assignment in Cleveland, USA in April this year. The US
Ambassador to Nigeria, James Entwistle, had petitioned the Speaker of the House
of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, alleging the members of soliciting for sex (Read Petition Here).
To this end, the US government has cancelled their visa, barring them from entering the US. The lawmakers have however denied the allegations and, Hon. Gololo has threatened to sue the US government. Meanwhile the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has set up a panel of enquiry into the matter.
