The Senate had on Wednesday 29, suspended former majority leader Ali Ndume, for six months, claiming that he brought unproven allegations against his colleagues Senator Dino Melaye and Senate President Bukola Saraki.

Tendering the report for approval before the senators on Wednesday, March 29, Senator Sam Nwanyanwu said the allegations brought against the two senators by Ndume were false after due investigation.
