‘Jibrin has five foreign accounts’, NYC petitions EFCC, CCB

The Anti-corruption Unit of the National Youth Council of Nigeria has submitted a petition against suspended member of the House of Representatives and former Chairman House Committee in Appropriations, Abdulmumin Jibrin.

According to the group, the lawmaker from Kano State operates five foreign accounts, violating the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Section 7 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act.

The section “prohibits public officers from maintaining or operating accounts in any country outside Nigeria.”

The petition which was addressed to Speaker of the House of Representatives,Yakubu Dogara, also copied the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation; the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission; and the CCB.

The NYC demanded for the prosecution of Jibrin, giving the address used to operate the accounts as 81, Cotswold Gardens, London, NW2, 1PE.

The accounts are “Barclays Bank International Account, SC 204744 AC 33471268; Barclays Bank Reserve Account, SC 204744 AC 43707164; Barclays Mortgage Account, SC 204744 AC 94030664; Barclays Bank Euro Currency Account, SC 204744 AC 52339433; and Barclays USD Currency Account, SC 204744 AC 74521222.”

The group also provided Jibrin’s  asset declaration form, where he wrote that he owned only one four-bedroomed bungalow in Kaduna.

Jibrin was suspended for 180 legislative days after he was accused of running a “campaign of calumny”, after alleging that four principal officers of the House padded the budget to the tune of N40bn.
