Following his removal on July 20, Jibrin came up with several allegations against Speaker Yakubu Dogara, his deputy Yusufu Suleimon Lasun, chief whip, Alhassan Ado Doguwa, minority leader, Leo Ogar and nine other members, accusing them of perpetrating corruption in the 2016 budget. The All Progressives Congress (APC) had, in an attempt to find a solution to the crisis, barred Dogara and Jibrin from making further public comments on the matter. However, sensing that he could face suspension from the House, Jibrin rushed to the FCT court on Thursday. In the suit: No. FHC/ABJ/CS/539, Jibrin joined Dogara, Lasun, Doguwa, Ogor, the House of Representatives, Clerk to the House, the FCT police commissioner, and 10 others. Jibrin is among other things seeking an order of the court stopping the House from suspending him pending the determination of the substantive suit. In an affidavit deposed in the court, Jibrin said if the respondents/defendants “are not immediately restrained, he would be suspended as a member of the House and this will greatly prejudice him and thousands of his constituents who rely on him to afford them their due representation in the federal legislature.” In the said affidavit, the sacked appropriations committee chairman said he was aware that they held meetings wherein they agreed to urgently reconvene the House which is on recess with a desperate agenda to suspend. It was gathered that contrary to claims that Jibrin was invited by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to provide more details on his allegations, he was actually being grilled over a number of petitions submitted against him by some individuals. It was gathered that Jibrin was specifically questioned on the alleged N4.3 billion projects he allocated to his Kiru/Bebeji federal constituency of Kano State. If found guilty, Jibrin may be charged to court, a source told our correspondent.]]>
