In its reaction, the upper chamber described the report as false and an attempt to tarnish the image of the National Assembly. Lawmakers maintained that their decisions and actions remain guided by due process and the rule of law.

The Senate urged Nigerians to disregard the allegations, emphasizing its commitment to transparency and accountability in legislative proceedings.

The development adds to ongoing public scrutiny of governance and integrity within Nigeria’s political system, as citizens continue to demand greater accountability from elected officials.
