Budget padding: House of Reps principal officers’ accounts frozen – Jibrin

Suspended member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin has alleged that the accounts of some principal officers of the lower chamber has been frozen.

Jibrin made this allegation on Thursday while reacting to the decision of admit a petition accusing him of absenteeism and another alleging he owns five foreign accounts.

The Kano lawmaker said Minority Leader, Leo Ogor, was one of the principal officers, whose accounts had been  frozen.

Jibrin stated, “This latest assault is coming because the security and anti-graft agencies have made progress on investigation, which has led to the freezing of the accounts of some principal officers, including the Minority Leader, Leo Ogor, where large sums of illicit funds were found.”

Chief Whip of the lower chamber, Al-Hassan Ado-Doguwa however asked Nigerians to ignore the “lies” being told by Jibrin.

He noted, “Jibrin should be ignored. He is running away from prosecution. Why can’t he stay in Nigeria? He ran away.

“I don’t have an account that is frozen. As a matter of fact, I don’t have any money like Jibrin that will require my account to be frozen.

“Only Jibrin can explain the source of his wealth. That is why he believes everyone is like him.

“After running around the world, he will return to Nigeria and still face prosecution.”
