The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Tuesday grilled Jibrin as part of
investigation into the budget padding allegations.
It
was learnt that Jibrin spent over five hours at the EFCC office, explaining to
investigators how the 2016 budget was allegedly padded by Dogara; the Deputy
Speaker, Yusuff Lasun; the Chief Whip, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa; the Minority
Leader, Leo Ogor, and nine others.
An
EFCC operative, who confirmed Jibrin’s visit, said, “Jibrin came to our office
to honour an invitation. His petition was voluminous and we needed
clarification. He submitted more documents before leaving. We told him that we
could call him again at any time.
“Based
on the allegations and documents he submitted, we will invite other lawmakers,
especially Dogara, and members of the appropriations committee.”
The
source said Jibrin also promised to bring more documents to support his
allegations.
