Yakubu Dogara calls for evidence against 3 lawmakers accused of sexual misconduct in the US

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has called on the US government to provide evidence against the three lawmakers that were accused of sexual misconduct in the US.

Samuel Ikon (PDP, Akwa Ibom), Mohammed Gololo (APC, Bauchi) and Mark Gbillah (APC, Benue), were accused by the US government of sexual misconduct while they were on an official assignment in Cleveland, USA in April this year. In a series of tweets, Dogara argued that until there's evidence to prove they are indeed guilty and also tried in court, the accused lawmakers are still innocent. See the tweets after the cut...

Dogara stated the only thing he has received from the US government was the letter indicting the three lawmakers which according to him is not sufficient to use to indict them. See more of his tweets after the cut...

    1. I'm highly disappointed in you! So you can just go ahead to convict without evidence? It is a process we all agreed to followm why have we succumbed to inferiority complex or colonial mentality? So US is God? US is infallible? Procedures must be followed and Dogara is handling the issue intelligently!

  20. The US aren't stupid to just do something loike this. If they don't show anything yet. It's because they know it will bring those men,great embarrassment. Anyways, hope we are learning. The entirety of the American law is backing a "common" housekeeper against a senior visiting lawmaker but here, lebanese, , India, Chinese will beat Nigerians and get away with it.

  23. Yakubu 'jack' Dogara has stated in no clear terms the rule of law we follow in Nigeria, a la, British commonwealth which by virtue of common law includes the United States that 'He or she who assert must prove'.

    Americans are already used to convicting blacks b4 giving them a chance to defend he allegation against them. I hope His Excellency , the Ambassador will supply the required documentary & direct evidences as required by the Mr. Speaker.

  26. Dogara is a true and proud Nigerian. He is handling the matter in a most brilliant manner! We must learn to follow agreed procedures whatever the case may be. The US we are praising today will not convict without evidence. Some Nigerians have very low self esteem. Once the US says it, it must be true. What we are saying is that if they must be convicted, established process must be followed. Simple! That is the expectation in a civilised environment.

  27. Evidence, like video or pictures??? Try another one, please. It says, soliciting for and not that they did it. The fact that complaint was raised against the three is evidence enough. We are talking about law makers who are supposed to be leaders. Abi dem don forget say na Yankee dem go, where inappropriate convo can be labeled as sexual harassment. They should apologize jor for inappropriate conduct.

  28. Well, d truth will come out, bt I knw dey r nt dat innocent. Linda observe!

  29. I agree with the speaker as well, it's it because they are Nigerian law makers that we automatically assume that they are guilty until proven innocent? This is part of the equality thing we are all about. The US have never been known to convict anyone without a trial. Evidence is needed please

  32. You people should know how these oyibo people operate. They must have enough evidence in their back pockets to just decide to shame them publicly. Don't use your nigerian block heads to analyze this one. They w were on a diplomatic mission. They were probably on wire all the time and did not know it. They could have done what they did with the former imf boss but they choose not to. Trust me unlike you guys they have weighed the diplomatic cost and have the approval of Buhari. Hold your penises and stop spreading vile diseases. Sex is not everything. People still breathe if they don't have sex with prostitutes

  33. Since this is allegation for now and that concrete proof are being awaited, these guys should know that they can no longer travel to USA. This may have negative effect on them when travelling to other countries that are USA allies.My advise to these trio is that they should stay put at home(Nigeria) and do all they want to do with impunity.Afterall,they are immune against any form of prosecution. They should however note that after expiration of their tenor as legislator which is around the corner, the case will be exhumed by USA and brought to life. Those who are mouth jacking now will not be around to assist them as they will be on their own then.

  34. Our politicians are dogs. They are too sexually indisciplined. Spoiling our girls and the country. Once they loot money, the next thing is to sleep around with girls, buy cars and houses. While a country of 170m has been battling with 3000MW of power, while SA, another African country of about 40m population has 40,000. Please any sensible person should be ashamed of these politicians, both old and new. They make me want to puke. Shameless swines! No innovation, no intelligence, nothing na so so women
