Suspended House of Representatives member Honourable Abdulmumin
Jibrin on Tuesday said the lower chamber had no moral right to criticise
the operation carried out by the Department of State Services (DSS) over the weekend.
Jibrin also alleged that Speaker of the House, and other persons he
accused of corruption in the budget padding saga made attempts to kidnap
and assassinate him.
Writing a rejoinder to the DSS on his Facebook page, Jibrin accused
the House of engaging in a “grand cover up” on the allegations of
corruption he levelled against its leadership.
He wondered why the security agency was yet to take action on his previous letter.
The rejoinder read in part, “I therefore wish to remind you that 3
months after, things have remained the same. The accused persons have
become emboldened, walk around freely, carried out actions to destroy
evidence, made attempts to kidnap and assassinate me and corruption
continue to strive in the House of Representatives.
“Last week I raised an alarm over a deep rooted systemic corruption
where billions of naira directly stolen by the Leadership and Members of
the House of Representatives in the name of running cost and demanded
investigation and the Minister of Finance to stop payment of such money.“I strongly believe that these chronic fraud and corruption in the House
of Representatives is undoubtedly a threat to National Security and
must be dealt with decisively without further delays. You will be
failing in your duties and responsibilities as patriotic citizen and
officials of the Department of State Services if you fail to take
necessary action to bring this disgraceful and destructive situation to
an end,” he said.
