Former Chairman, House Committee on Appropriation, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin has accused the Speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara of blackmailing him.
Jibrin threatened to sue peddlers of a document he described as ‘not worth a piece of toilet paper’ claiming that he owns an off-shore account holding £1.3 m. He said the whole plot was orchestrated by speaker Dogara.
A document had emerged on the internet early on Monday morning showing that Jibrin holds an account with ING bank UK with Essex address and balance of £1.3m.
One of the persons who tweeted the document, Kayode Ogundamisi had written as a caption to the document’s photo: “@AbdulAbmJ was asked DIRECT questions “Do U own offshore account with balance of £1.3M? He joked it off as trash.”

But the the House of Reps whistle blower had dismissed the document as a total falsehood, threatening to take the matter up with all those circulating the document.
“The document is fake, I do not own such account or balance neither do I have anything what so ever to do with the said address at Essex,” Jibrin tweeted.
“This blackmail is part of a wider propaganda arranged by the desperate Speaker Dogara through his Deputy Chief of Staff Hon CID Maduebum.
“Hon Maduebum recruited&paid 20million naira to one Ifeanyi Okonkwo&Ikenga Ugochinyere of a shadow youth organisation to do the hatched jobs.”

You will recall that the same group went to town with the allegations of 17 billion and 418 million naira which all turned out a fluke

Ahead of resumption of the House,they are back at work to divert attention from allegations of budget fraud and corruption against MrSpeaker

The plan is to creat credibility problem for me as I release more revelations on MrSpeaker that will send shock down the spines of Nigerians

It is curious that all the allegations on me are made by faceless or shadow groups,no Member of the House has signed any allegation on me
