The Senate voted to investigate allegations, published by TELL magazine, that its President, Evan Enwerem, had falsified his personal records and concealed a criminal past. Its Committees on Judiciary, on Ethics, and on National Security and Intelligence reported through Senator Mike Ajegbo that the police and the security agencies held no record against him, and the Senate cleared him. After the House of Representatives passed a resolution indicting him over the forgery and perjury allegations, the Senate removed him as its President on 18 November 1999.
