The Nigerian Senate has set up an Ad-hoc Committee to investigate allegations of drug trafficking against Senator Oyelola Yisa Ashiru representing Kwara South Senatorial District.
The setting up of the investigative committee came after Ashiru raised Order 42 of Senate Rules, which bothers on personal explanation, noting that the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, accused him of involvement in drug trafficking, which led to the arrest of some of his aides.
Ashiru said the allegation against him by NDLEA was baseless and unfounded, stressing that the agency was angry because he contributed to a proposed bill on the establishment of a drug-related agency on Tuesday, 15th October, 2024.
