Few hours ago,we reported that the U.S. ambassador accused three Nigerian lawmakers of rape and also soliciting prostitutes . Now, Hon. Mohammed Garba
Gololo who is one of the three Nigerian lawmakers accused by yhe US ambassador, while on a visit to the states
on official assignment has denied the allegations and threatened to sue
the US government for character assassination.
Ten lawmakers were
invited to the International Visitor Leadership Program held between 7-13 April in
Cleveland, Ohio, and three of them, from Bauchi, Akwa Ibom and Benue
state, were accused of gross misconduct.
In the petition,
Ambassador James Entwistle said the Department of State had reports
from employees of the Cleveland hotel that lawmaker Muhammed
Gololo had allegedly grabbed a housekeeper in his hotel room and
solicited her for sex.
Two other lawmakers
allegedly requested hotel parking attendants to assist them to solicit
prostitutes. The housekeeper and attendants filed a complaint at the US
Mission who investigated the allegations.
In a response to the
speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Gololo dismissed the allegation as
"totally false, baseless and unfounded".
"I categorically
deny that any such incident happened," he said.
Mr Goloo said he was
demanding an apology from the US government over the allegations or would
take legal action to clear his name.
