THE Suspension of Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume (Borno-APC) has been nullified.
A
Federal High Court in Abuja, today, presided over by Justice Babatunde
Quadri, nullified his suspension and ordered his reinstatement.
Bukola
Saraki, president of the senate was ordered to ensure prompt payment of
Ndume’s salaries and allowances while he was suspended.
Ndume
had asked for investigation of allegations of importing a bullet proof
range rover with fake documents involving Senate President Bukola Saraki
and that of perjury involving Senator Dino Melaye.
The Senate
reached the decision after the resolution to uphold the recommendation
of the committee on ethics and privileges chaired by Samuel Anyanwu.
He was suspended for six months, instead of one year originally recommended by the ethics committee.
Mr.
Anyanwu, whose committee convened investigative hearing on the two
matters reported that Mr. Ndume failed to conduct proper investigation
before making “the allegations”.
