John Ameh, Olalekan Adetayo and Leke BaiyewuA former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, on Monday accused the members of the National Assembly of bribe taking. He said chairmen of committees in the National Assembly were more notorious for bribe taking antics. “Members of the National Assembly engage in bribe taking when they pursue committee works and oversight and I wonder what is happening with intelligence and investigative responsibilities of security agencies in policing our National Assembly. “Some chairmen of the committees in the National Assembly have become notorious on this issue of demanding bribes with impunity. “Meanwhile, after elections, INEC normally demobilises members of staff: security personnel etc and you cannot demobilise them and get them in polling unit within five days.
