Embattled former Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has thrown up another allegation against the Speaker of the House, Hon. Yakubu Dogara.
Recall that he had last week accused the Speaker alongside other principal officers, Yusuf Lasun, Alhassan Doguwa and Leo Ogor of attempting to pad N40bn into the 2016 budget.
This time, Jibrin, alleged that the Speaker tried to break into his office in an attempt to destroy critical documents concerning the allegations of budget padding against him.
Jibrin, in a statement, stated that unknown to the speaker, he had in his possession evidences backing the claims.
“There has also been an attempt to break into my office at the House. I know he wants to tamper with documents critical to his and the 3 others future investigation and prosecution but unfortunately for him we already have enough evidence in our possession. The security and anti corruption agencies should kindly take note.
“Speaker Dogara has ordered that all the computers in the appropriation secretariat be shut down and moved to his office as if that is the answer to the allegations I raised.
“The secretariat staff are being harassed to keep quite and suppress facts,” he said.
