The
Police Special Investigation Panel (SIP) has again invited former House of
Representatives’ Appropriation Committee chairman Abdulmumin Jibrin for
questioning over his petition on alleged padding.
Jibrin
is expected to appear before the Assistant Inspector-General of Police (IGP)
Amodu Ali-led panel to clear grey areas in the petition.
The
SIP has shifted the planned interrogation of Speaker Yakubu Dogara,
Deputy Speaker Yusuff Lasun , Chief Whip Alhassan Ado Doguwa and Minority
Leader Leo Ogor till after its session with Jibrin.
Investigation
by the Nation correspondent revealed
that the panel observed some gaps in Jibrin’s petition.
A
top source in the police said: “Having gone through the petition, the panel has
discovered that more documents are required to be able to isolate allegations
which the four principal officers will respond to.
“The
SIP on Thursday (yesterday) invited Jibrin to bring more documents to
fill in some gaps in our profiling of his petition.
“We
expect Jibrin to be with us either on Friday (today)
or on Monday. After getting all documents, we will then formally quiz
Jibrin on record.
“We
have shifted the interaction with the principal officers until we are done with
Jibrin. So, the invitation which they received has been postponed.
“A
new date will be communicated to the principal officers.
“If
you look at Jibrin’s activities after submitting the petition, he has been
making more revelations. New investigative clues have come up from his comments
on his tweeter handle and in interviews that granted. We have different figures
to investigate which include: N284billion, N90billion, N40billion and
N20billion, the amount bandied at various times.
“The
list of suspects has also been growing on a daily basis. Jibrin has to appear
before the panel to assist it to streamline all the allegations and the
suspects.
Jibrin
had alleged that about 2,000 projects worth N284billion were “inserted”
into the 2016 budget.
