The three House of Representatives members who were exonerated on Tuesday of the sexual misconduct allegations levelled against them by the United States Government are set to file a $1bn suit against the U.S government and its agents.



The three members include; House Deputy Chairman, Committee on Petroleum Resources, Mr. Terse Mark-Gbillah of Benue, Mr. Samuel Ikon of Akwa Ibom, and Mr. Mohammed Garba-Gololo of Bauchi states.

A former US Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. James Entwistle, had accused the three lawmakers of committing the alleged misconduct during a visit to the U.S last April for a leadership training programme, prompting the Nigerian legislature to call for an investigation.

The House had exonerated the lawmakers on Tuesday after a report by its Joint Committees on Ethics/Privileges and Foreign Relations found no wrongdoing on their part.

According to Saturday Punch, the three lawmakers would immediately institute a legal action against their accusers in the US.

This will be in addition to demanding what he called "internationally-published apology".

He expressed regrets that they would be unable to visit the US physically to file the suit because their visas, which were withdrawn in the wake of the "false allegations", had not been restored.

Mark-Gbillah gave details of the steps the members would take, saying,

"We won’t let the matter go like that because our reputation has been defamed internationally and there is also the cancellation of our visas to consider, a decision that has still not been reversed. In the American archives, the records have not been set straight. As a matter of fact, this has already affected the members of one of our families.


"We will be seeking legal redress in the US; we are going to take the hotel to court, the Marriot Hotel, the parent brand, the place we stayed (in the US). We are going to take the (former US) ambassador himself and the US State Department, who are his employers to court. We are going to be taking the local organisers of the programme to court as well.

"We will be seeking among other things, an internationally-published apology to us as individuals, to the National Assembly and to Nigeria by the US Government. We are going to be seeking damages from all concerned parties and right now, we are looking at suing in the region of $1bn.

Comedians!

What are you waiting for.
Just beware it is not Nigeria investigators and Nigerian Judges handling the matter.

Comedians!

why call them comedians?
The USA government failed to produce any evidence against them to substantiate their claim.
We know in the US there are CCTV in every public place. So they should have at least produced the footage of the one that happened in the car park.

USA government lies so much.

Remember Bush lied against Sadam Husein...
Obama is ditching out lies against Asad now...

Nor mind dem! Their reputation which has already been dented Nationally na hin nor go de dented Internationally?
