Senate suspends former leader Ali Ndume

               
The Senate has suspended Ali Ndume, its former leader, who had asked for investigation of allegations of importing a bullet proof range rover with fake documents involving Senate President Bukola Saraki and that of perjury involving Dino Melaye.
The Senate reached the decision, Wednesday, after the resolution to uphold the recommendation of the committee on ethics and privileges chaired by Samuel Anyanwu.
He was suspended for six months, instead of one year originally recommended by the ethics committee.
Mr. Anyanwu, whose committee convened investigative hearing on the two matters on Monday, reported that Mr. Ndume failed to conduct proper investigation before making “the allegations”.
But during the investigative hearing, Mr. Ndume told the committee he did not make allegation or raise a petition against the duo of Mr. Melaye and Mr. Saraki but only raised the issues, having read them in the newspaper.
Last week, Mr. Ndume had said the matters had made the Senate subject of public ridicule, thereby calling for probe.
“When we see anything against another Senator, we must bring it to the floor of the Senate before making hurtful statement,” said Barau Jibrin in his contribution before Wednesday’s vote was taken.
Messrs. Saraki and Melaye were cleared of any wrongdoing in the matters.

”They alleged that the teenager, a Senior Secondary School three students, raped their four-year old daughter. So, they sponsored some boys who seized him on March 24, took him to the suspect’s house, the suspects severely tortured him and burnt his manhood. 

They also locked him up in a toilet up to the following day, March 25. The victim was later taken to the Specialist Hospital, Sokoto, where he is responding to treatment.” 

                           

Abdullahi said that the couple was arrested on March 28, for allegedly taking the law into their hands.
The commandant further said that the suspects would soon be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of thorough investigations.

The Father of the victim, Abdullahi Ibrahim, a Teacher at Sultan Bello Secondary School, Sokoto, appealed to the state government to assist the family in seeking justice for his son.

He also made similar appeal to the Sultanate Council of Sokoto, local and international human rights groups, among others. Ibrahim said one of the suspects had threatened to kill him in the event that he made attempt to take any action.

Passenger Plane With 141 On Board Bursts Into Flames In Peru

 A plane with 141 people on board went up in flames on Tuesday after crash landing at an airport in the central Peruvian town of Jauja, local media reported.

There were no deaths, though many people sustained minor injuries, as passengers were able to disembark the Boeing 737 in time, according to newspaper El Comercio, which published dramatic footage of the incident online.

One video showed people running from the Peruvian Airlines plane, which appeared to have veered off the runway and had a broken wing, with smoke billowing and flames spreading out on the ground behind it.
Witnesses said the pilot had lost control in high winds, while others said the fire had been caused by an exploding tyre. The incident took place at around 5pm (2200 GMT).

The plane was on a special flight from Lima to Jauja, 260 kilometres west of the capital. The small town has been practically cut off for weeks due to some of the worst flooding Peru has experienced in decades.
