Suspended former Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Rep. Abdulmumin Jibrin, has been invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Jibrin’s invitation is based on his allegations on budget padding against the leadership of the House and to answer questions concerning money looted through padding in the 2016 budget.

The EFCC letter of invitation to Jibrin, dated June 9, was signed by the acting Head of Extractive Industry Grid Section, Michael Wetkas.

The letter reads in part: ”The commission has commenced investigation into the petition of corrupt practices and abuses of office reported on 1st August, 2016, by Hammart and Co. (Tafida Chambers) on your behalf against Hon. Yakubu Dogara, Hon. Yussuf Lasun, Hon. Alhassan Doguwa, Hon. Leonard Ogor and others.

”In furtherance of the investigation and due to unfolding findings, it has become imperative to request that you attend another interview with the team.

”Through Ibrahim Ahmed on 13th June 2017 at the 3rd floor Block A, No.5 Fomelu street, off Adetokumbo Ademola Crescent, Wuse 2, Abuja, at 10 a.m. to clarify some issues to enable us conclude investigation.”

Jibrin in a statement on Monday in Abuja confirmed receipt of the letter.

”This is a welcome development as it is coming at a time that many Nigerians have lost hope that the outcome of my petition will not see the light of the day.

”In due course I will expose a lot of other issues in the 2017 budget that will shock Nigerians whether the authority decides to act on it or not,” the embattled lawmaker added.
