The committee in its report following its investigation which cleared the duo of wrongdoings, recommended that Ndume be suspended for one legislative year.
Recall that Ndume called for the probe of the senate president after a publication in national dailies reported that “the Senate President, Bukola Saraki bought SUV bullet proof Jeep worth N370 million without paying it’s Custom duties.”
