Budget Padding: ‘reps Give Condition For Acceptance Of EFCC Invitations’ by ynaijaNews: 9:46am On Jun 19, 2017 |
The House Representatives has said its members will appear before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for alleged budget padding, if some conditions are met, The Nation reports. According to the newspaper, the lower chamber has asked the agency to send the invitation of its members over the alleged N284 billion budget padding through Speaker Yakubu Dogara. It said its Minority Leader, Leo Ogor, would not appear before EFCC if that condition is not met. In a letter through its clerk, the lower chamber reportedly the agency has to request for the release of Leo Ogor or any other member through the Speaker.

We are weighing options including exhausting all hurdles laid by the House. “We may write the House but at the end if Ogor and other lawmakers refuse to honour our invitation, we will effect their arrest. “No member of the House has constitutional immunity from investigation and prosecution.” Rep. Abdulmumin Jibrin who was suspended for the allegations had appeared last week for a five-hour grilling on the allegations. |

What nonsense?
Arrest any one of them that doesn't answer the invitation.
If he resist arrest, just use him for target practice.
