The Bukola Saraki-led Nigerian senate is set to suspend the two senators sworn in for the Niger South Senatorial District are going to be suspended, Daily Trust reports.
The crisis trailing the seat was compounded last Wednesday when Senate President Bukola Saraki swore in the second person for same seat.
General Mohammed A. Garba was sworn in on June 9 and Malam Mustapha Sani Mohammed was sworn in last week. The duo are both claiming to have won election under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
An official of the senate presidency said the entitlements meant for the seat have also been stopped pending the outcome of the legal tussle over the seat.
“Already they have been stopped from coming to the National Assembly,” he said.
The senate president’s special adviser on legal and constitutional matters, Barrister Ibrahim Tukur El-Sudi had said the confusion was caused by a lack of information from the judiciary.
He said the case is being investigated.
