<p>The Chief Whip of the Senate, Ali Ndume, has <strong><a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/03/14/what-i-told-ningi-when-he-brought-the-budget-padding-issue-to-me-ndume/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">disclosed</a></strong> that he warned his colleague, Abdul Ningi on the allegation that the 2024 budget was padded by over N3 trillion.</p>
<p>Ndume said he told Ningi to seek a consultant to analyse the budget.</p>
<p>However, he stated that Ningi refused to listen to him.</p>
<p>Recall that, Ningi who represents Bauchi Central at the Senate, was on Tuesday <strong><a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/03/12/breaking-senate-suspends-senator-ningi-for-three-months/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended for three months</a></strong> over claims of budget padding.</p>
<p>Reacting to the development during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, Ndume insisted that the suspended Bauchi senator was wrong with his claim.</p>
<p>Ndume said Ningi was trying to make 2024 project an ethnic and political issue, which according to him is wrong.</p>
<p>The Senate Chief Whip said that when Ningi first presented the case to him, he told him to provide evidence which he could not.</p>
<p>He insisted that as a senior member of the Senate, he can attest to the fact that the North was not shortchanged by the South in the budget as claimed by Ningi.</p>

<h2>The Ondo command of the southwest security network, known as <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/amotekun/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amotekun</a>, has taken disciplinary action against three of its officers due to their involvement in professional misconduct.</h2>
<p>These individuals were reportedly engaged in both human trafficking and burglary activities within the state.</p>
<p>The state commander of Amotekun, Adetunji Adeleye, addressed the issue while parading seven suspects to the public at the command headquarters on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Out of these suspects, three were implicated in human trafficking, while the remaining four were apprehended for breaking into houses.</p>
<p>Adeleye emphasized that the dismissed officers would face legal consequences in accordance with the corps's established regulations, <strong>Naija News</strong> reports.</p>
<p>Furthermore, he revealed that some of the stolen electronic devices have been recovered, and investigations are currently underway to apprehend the robbers who managed to escape upon encountering the Amotekun operatives.</p>
<p><em>“Today, we have three Amotekun personnel who went through the normal process of court martial and are being dismissed today for professional misconduct,”</em> Adeleye said.</p>
<p>He added, “They cease to be members of Amotekun Ondo state corps as from now, and we will ensure that adequate punishment is<em> meted out to them even after dismissal.</em></p>
<p><i>“Out of the seven suspects we are parading today, we have three that were arrested for human trafficking cases, and we have four others that were arrested for housebreaking.</i></p>
<p><em>“And we were able to retrieve all the items stolen from their operation, which would be handed over to the rightful owners.</em></p>
<p><em>“However, this is to reconfirm that the response to distress calls is actually working for us in order to reduce crime to the minimum.”</em></p>
<p><em>He urged residents to assist the corps with more credible intelligence information.</em></p>
<p><em>“To commuters, we advise you to reduce travelling late in the night, and early in the morning. However, we will commence our 24-hour patrol from the end of this week to ensure safety.</em></p>
<p><em>“We want to encourage the good people of Ondo state to give us timely information to work for them.”</em></p>
