Senator Nicholas Ugbane who represented Kogi East in the 5th and 6th National Assembly has urged the National Assembly to update the records in its website to reflect the decisions of two separate courts sitting in Abuja that discharged him of allegations of corruption in two cases.
The Senator who spoke through his media assistant Abel Ada-Musa in a press statement that was made available to the Nigerian Post in Lokoja yesterday said it is imperative to put the records straight.
He spoke against the backdrop that the records and website of the National Assembly where he served in the 5th and 6th senate has continued to reflect the pendents of the said cases.
During the 6th Senate, specifically in 2009, Senator Ugbane and some members were charged at the High Court Abuja in charge Number: FCT/HC/CR/39A/2009 and the Federal High Court Abuja Number: FHC/ABJ/CR/89/2009 on allegations of commission of certain corrupt actions.
In his words, “Despite the decisions of two separate courts sitting in Abuja, discharging him of the allegations of corruption in two cases, the distinguished senator Nicholas Ugbane has continued to be an unhappy man.
“This is because the records and website of the National Assembly where he served in the 5th and 6th senate has continued to reflect that the cases are still pending.”
He said he was unjustly and falsely accused adding that he can only be happy when the senate put its records straight to reflect the true position that he has been discharged of the accusations.
According to him, he had written two separate letters through Barrister S.I. Ameh to the President of the senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Clerk of the National Assembly dated 11th January, 2017 and 17th October, 2017 respectively requesting for the records at the legislative house to be corrected in respect of the allegations.
He said in the two cases he has been discharged and acquitted by two competent courts of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
