The former Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations, Abdulmumin Jibrin, on Thursday again slammed the Speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara and three other principal officers.
Jibrin, who accused them of inserting billions into the 2016 budget, said they are attempting to obstruct justice.
The lawmaker said Dogara and others are trying to obstruct justice by seizing information relevant to the allegation and impeding investigations.
A statement issued by Jibrin on Thursday reads:
“The secretariat workers are being harassed to keep quiet and suppress facts.
“There has also been an attempt to break into my office at the House.
“I know he wants to tamper with documents critical to this and three other 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.”
Speaking on the press briefing organised by Gombe Reps Caucus which accused him of waging a “campaign of calumny,” he said:
“Five members of the Gombe caucus addressed the press today (Thursday) in a show of shame and succeeded in only rehearsing the accusation of lies leveled against me by Speaker Dogara.
“Two of them are part of the list of corrupt members I will be submitting to the EFCC.
“My response to them is they should simply read my full reply released yesterday and join the Transparency Group (TG), an alliance of hundreds of members to cleanse the House of corruption and corrupt members.
