A member of the House of Representatives, Victor Mela, has been sentenced by an Abuja Magistrates’ court to prison for committing perjury and lying on oath in the INEC form he filled during his election.

The lawmaker representing Billiri/Balanga Federal Constituency of Gombe state, claimed to not have dual citizenship while possessing a British passport which shows he is a citizen of Britain.

He was however granted an option of fine.
