The Senate has introduced a bill that would alter the constitution and strip the president, his deputy, governors and their deputies of immunity from criminal prosecution.

Sponsored by Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege, it was read the first time on the floor of the chamber yesterday. According to the bill, immunity will not apply “to persons who hold the office of vice president, governor or deputy governor, if it is determined either by the Economic Financial Crimes Commission, Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, Nigerian Police and State Security Service through a collaborative investigation that the said person is indicted by a court of competent jurisdiction for financial misappropriation of funds belonging to the federal, state or local government; or sponsoring of thugs to perpetrate violence that causes injury or death of political opponent, a member of his family, agent or personal representative.”

How comes the title differs from the content?

It says vice president, governors and deputy governors.... i can't see the president part.
Plus the bill is not stripping immunity it will prevent such people from the positions not prosecute them while they are holding those positions! Abi my comprehension is lacking?

Misleading headline

I like the content of this bill hope it will pass third reading

the headline and the content just confuse me.

What moral justification does Omo-Agege have to propose such bill? A mace stealer that is suppose to be in jail but rather conpensated with the position of a DSP.

I support the bill.
