On Feb. 16, Isabella Iloba, the erstwhile Deputy Clerk of the Ninth Senate, formally assumed duty as the Acting Clerk of the Upper Chamber, following the resignation of the outgoing Clerk, Ibrahim El-Ladan.
El-Ladan and two other permanent secretaries were accused of forgery and age falsification which earned them sanctions from the NASC.
The commission ordered El-Ladan and another officer, Adebayo Anthony Adebanjo, to proceed on retirement with immediate effect.
The NASC proceeded to appoint Iloba as Acting Clerk to the Senate to take over from El-Ladan.
