US govt cancels visas of 3 Nigerian lawmakers accused of sexual misconduct in Cleveland

US 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), all pictured above, accused of alleged sexual misconduct while on an official assignment in Cleveland, USA in April this year.

In a petition written by the US Ambassador to Nigeria, James Entwistle, and sent to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, the US government alleged that while the lawmakers lodged at a Cleveland Hotel to attend the International Visitors Leadership Program, Honorable Gololo grabbed the housekeeper of the hotel they lodged in and solicited for sex while the other two lawmakers asked the hotel parking lot attendants to help them get prostitutes.

As punishments for their misconducts, the US government has cancelled their visa, barring them from entering the US. The lawmakers have denied the allegations. One of them, Gololo has even 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.

If it wasn't why are Nigerians running there. Dey there dey rubish them but if them give you visa you no go gree go back.

  22. Please if you people are so innocent of this show of shame, go ahead and sue the US govt, am quite sure they will apologize to you for character assassination if the matter is settled in your favour.

    Otherwise, before close of business today, just park your bags & baggages and head back to your respective states, because as it stands, your membership of the house of reps is hereby annulled.

    Also, never again should any of you used the phrase 'honourable' against your names as your actions have automatically made you 'dishonourable'

  42. This is American imperialism at play,if they are guilty is it mere soliciting that makes them cancel their visas?,
    Nigerians ur inferiority cmplx would kill the Nigerian man or woman,i believe the men are entitled to a fair hearing nothing has been heard officially from them except the word of the American embassy or ambassador.
    Their UN rep ms helen rice killed a boy while visiting area,s affected by insurgency the matter was quietly killed.
    While i do not condone bad behaviour there is a process,Nigerians remember what goes around comes around it could be ur turn in a difft matter involving the US 2moro.

  52. This is very shameful. They thought they are in Nigeria where all bad deals are swept under the carpet.it is good that only their visas were cancelled. They should have been prosecuted. The investigation set up by the speaker of house rep will not yield any good fruit but fruits of deceit. This is a warning to other legislators that may want to follow the bad foots footsteps of this three that it will no longer be business as usual. This is end of journey for them to USA now and in future.

  56. This is what our law makers and rich Nigerian's do with our young girls in universities, taking them in bus loads to their immoral runchy parties where they debase them because of money. And also one of the reasons Dubai government put an age restriction on Nigerian women going to Dubai because our politicians and the rich take our young girls to have sex with multiple partners.These fools THINK IT IS THEIR RIGHT. This is the only country where they use our young girls as kola for visiting dignitaries. Time has come where we have to stand up for such immorality. You see those idiots in the front row in churches on Sundays. God will expose all of them one-by-one.

This has proven that our leaders are the cause of ALL the problems in this country. They're the cause of the lawlessness and high level of indiscipline in this country. They're are the reason why our country is fantastically corrupt.

    It is not a big deal here in Nigeria, for public officials to scandalize their

I really applaud the women who made the complaint. these fools thought they were in Nigeria Where they get away with a lot of bullcrap!. but on the other hand these men get away with lots of rubbish because our ladies let them have their way. Most young ladies are into runs or has a steady aristo just for material things. they are so vain and wants all the things in vogue and they sell their bodies for peanuts. the other day there was a photo chat of a very beautiful girl agreeing for anal sex with a hiv positve aristo for just mere shopping in dubai. Nigerian girls change. we are the cause of these problems. men dont value us here. those men should be dismissed, they are an embarrassment to this country, their wives and children. shameless adulterers.

  90. These are the men that ask young girls for sex and give them huge some of money in return, and make their taste go so high and start telling their mates(guys) that "I am not in your level" You are not my taste" because they spoil them with money and exotic cars after sleeping with them. It is so shameful and absurd for the people we voted into power to behave this way. The presidency shouldn't take this with laxity, they should be investigated. They should gladly resign and let go that office if guilty of the offence.
