Senate on Tuesday named Ad-hoc committee to
investigate Kogi State governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello over attacks on Senator
Ahmed Ogembe’s empowerment programmes last Saturday at Okene, which left
beneficiaries injured and hospitalised.
A ranking Senator, James Manager
(PDP) of Delta South was appointed to head the Committee.
Those appointed into the
Committee which was announced by the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu
are: Jerry Useni, Hamman Misau, Kabir Marafa, Solomon Olamilekan, Mathew
Urhoride and Chukwuka Utazi.
The development followed a motion
moved yesterday by Senator Ahmed Ogembe, stating that the Kogi State Governor,
Alhaji Yahaya Bello was behind the invasion of his empowerment programmes that
left scores injured.
After serious debate, Senate
resolved to constitute a committee to investigate the matter in order to
determine the involvement of Kogi State governor.
Reacting, Deputy Senate
President, Ike Ekweremadu charged the committee to be detailed in their
assignment and revert as soon as possible.
It was not clear to Nigerian Eye,
as at the time of this report if the governor would be personally asked to appear
before the committee to answer charges against him.
