The two persons that were sworn in for the Niger South Senatorial District are going to be suspended, our correspondent has gathered.

The duo are both claiming to have won election under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). But a source in Saraki’s office said arrangements are on for the suspension of the two persons. It said the entitlements meant for the seat have also been stopped pending the outcome of the legal tussle over the seat. “Already they have been stopped from coming to the National Assembly,” he said.

He said the case is being investigated.
