Top officers of the House of Representatives have been summoned by the Nigerian Police to answer questions about the budget padding scandal currently rocking the House.
According to The Nation, Police IG Ibrahim Idris has raised a special five-man team to probe the allegations brought against Speaker Yakubu Dogara and some of his principal officers by Hon. Jibrin Abdulmumin.
The panel, which is headed by AIG Amodu Ali-led Special Investigative Panel (SIP), has invited Dogara, his deputy Yusuff Lasun, Chief Whip Alhassan Ado Doguwa and Minority Leader Leo Ogor to appear before it on Friday.
“It was not a grilling session. But Jibrin furnished the team with vital information and a heap of documents to back up the petition he submitted on Monday," a source reportedly said. “We are going into the merit or otherwise of the petition on Friday by inviting Dogara and three others. It is going to be a gradual thing but we will crack the padding controversy.”
