Also appearing before the Senate is ministerial nominee, Amina Mohammed.
The duo made their appearance before the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public petitions on Monday, October 12, 2015.
Amaechi is facing allegations of money laundering and the petition against him was filed by a Senator from Rivers.

Mrs Mohammed’s nomination was challenged after it was claimed that she was an indigene of Kaduna State.
“I am assuming that I will be representing Gombe state because I am not from Kaduna state. My father is from Gombe state and I was born in Gombe state. I was only educated in Kaduna state,” Mohammed told the committee.
Buhari submitted a list of 21 nominees on September 30, 2015, and is expected to submit the rest this week.
