Benue Legislators Desert Assembly Over EFCC By Benue.com.ng On July 7, 2016 Memb

Members of the Benue State House of Assembly
now shun their office and counterparts who are
placed under watch by operatives of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC).
Many of the state’s legislators, including
principal officers, were recently interrogated by
the EFCC, in Abuja, over alleged N750,000
messy car deals.
The lawmakers apparently now abandoned their
office for their supporting members of staff,
who were seen either chatting in groups or
watching television.
Efforts to speak with some of the legislators
through their telephone lines were not
successful as the calls where left unanswered,
while text messages were not replied.
The speaker of the Assembly, Terkimbi Ikyange,
who was granted bail, weekend, after his
interrogation by the EFCC, was sighted in
Makurdi, yesterday, but he refused to comment
on the matter.
The deputy speaker, James Okefe, and, at least,
15 legislators were believed to have been
detained by the EFCC.
However, the chief press secretary to the
speaker, Bem Abunde, said that the Assembly
complex was undergoing renovation and that his
boss would comment on the alleged
interrogation of lawmakers by the EFCC soon.
