Former Chairman of the House of Representatives committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has denied allegations that he operates an account with ING bank in the UK and has a balance of £1.3m in the account.
The denial was made via his twitter handle @AbdulAbmJ. Jibrin described the document attached to the report as fake, saying he does not own such an account, balance attributed and has nothing to do with the Essex address.
He described the media report as part of a wider propaganda scheme directed by Mr. Yakubu Dogara, Speaker of the House of Representatives, using his Deputy Chief of Staff Mr. CID Maduebum.
