The Deputy Chief of Staff to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. C.I.D Maduabum has denied claims by Abdulmumin Jibrin that he paid 20 million naira to a group to claim that he (Jibrin) owns and operates a secret UK account.

The National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) had claimed that Jibrin operates a secret account domiciled  in the ING Bank Channels Island, United Kingdom with a total of about £1.558 million.

However, Jibrin in a statement on Monday denied operating such account, alleging that Speaker Yakubu Dogara and Hon. Maduabum paid the group N20 million to begin the ‘propaganda’.

But Maduabum in a statement has denied paying any group, stating that Jibrin is a “deranged psychopath”, who shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Maduabum also said Jibrin has an habit of manufacturing lies against anyone who does not support him.

The statement reads, “My attention has just been drawn to statement issued by Hon Abdulmumin Jubrin, where he as usual said that I gave money to some people to tell the truth about his Foreign Account they discovered in the UK.

“I formally deny this new allegation and denounce it as the hallucination of a deranged psychopath, a drowning man who is catching on all straws to rescue himself from the deep hole he is in. This has shown once again that corruption and lies are an essential part of Hon Jibrin’s DNA. He obviously thinks that everybody must be bribed to act patriotically to expose his corruption and nefarious activities.

“I feel sorry for the media that unwittingly play into his hands by publishing his continuously  false and  libelous vituperations. Hon Jibrin is so unintelligent that he has not seen that his pattern is an open one. Once you say anything against him, he immediately manufactures some imaginary bribe being given to the person by persons he picks at a whim. I have chosen to respond once again not because Hon Jibrin is worthy of a reply but just to set the records straight.”
