Sex Scandal: Rep writes US Ambassador, threatening legal action

One of the three members of the House of Representatives who were accused of illegally soliciting for prostitutes while in the United States, Samuel Ikon,has written to the US ambassador in Nigeria, James Entwistle, threatening to seek legal redress in competent courts of law both in Nigeria and the US.
According to Ikon, the allegation leveled against him is false as he was ill during the trip and could not have had sex in that condition.
He said he would have no other option but to go to court if the Ambassador failed to clear his name of the allegation.
Entwistle had on June 9, 2016, written to the speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, alleging that three members of the House, including Samuel Ikon, Mohammed Gololo and Mike Gbillah, requested hotel parking lot attendants to help them solicit for prostitutes during their leadership training in America.
But Ikon said the  allegation was not only false, but also in bad taste, adding that he was diagnosed of Malaria and Typhoid before the trip and was on medication throughout the trip.
He said he only got a bit stable in Cleveland when the medication began to kick in..
Consequently, he said the issue of sex was totally ruled out for him, in view of his health challenge.
Ikon urged Entwistle to review the case within seven days, after a more detailed look at the evidences available.
According to him, this will make the Ambassador realize that a mistake had been made, so he can regain his integrity.
