Suspended former Chairman of the House of Representatives committee on Appropriations, Abdulmumin Jibrin on Thursday asked his colleagues to return illegal allowances they paid themselves within 3 days or face the consequences.

Jibrin in a statement said he was going to publish details of how such frauds were perpetrated.

He asked the lawmakers to approach the appropriate authorities and pay back.

“I have written to the Clerk of the National Assembly to stand by in anticipation.

“In the face of the revenue challenges and biting hardship the country is currently facing, there is no better time the country needs such money than now.”

“I have come under intense public scrutiny and pressure to prove that there exists systemic corruption in the House,” Jibrin added.

The lawmaker from Kano State was suspended by the House of Representatives for 180 legislative days for “false allegations” and breaching house rules.
