One of the three Nigerian lawmakers accused by US ambassador of attempted rape and soliciting sex workers has threatened to sue the US government for character assassination.
Hon. Mohammed Garba Gololo, was one of ten lawmakers invited to the International Visitor Leadership Program held between 7-13 April in Cleveland, Ohio. The US ambassador James Entwistle in a petition had accused three lawmakers (from from Bauchi, Akwa Ibom and Benue states) of gross misconduct.
Entwistle said the Department of State had reports from employees of the Cleveland hotel that Gololo had allegedly grabbed a housekeeper in his hotel room and solicited her for sex.
Two other lawmakers allegedly requested hotel parking attendants to assist them to solicit prostitutes. The housekeeper and attendants filed a complaint at the US Mission who investigated the allegations.
Reacting, Mr Gololo dimissed the allegation as "totally false, baseless and unfounded".
"I categorically deny that any such incident happened," he added.
Mr Goloo said he was demanding an apology from the US government over the allegations or would take legal action to clear his name.
