Agents of Nigeria’s secret police, State Security Service, on Saturday sealed the secretariat of the House Committee on Appropriation, PREMIUM TIMES learnt.

The closure marked the latest development in the ongoing political and media war between the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, and a lawmaker from Kano State, Abdulmumin Jibrin, over alleged manipulation of line items and figures in the 2016 Appropriation Bill.

Mr. Jibrin began working to oust Mr. Dogara from office a day after the Speaker announced his removal as chairman of Appropriation Committee on allegations that he committed serial betrayal of trust.

PREMIUM TIMES sources said SSS officials stormed the secretariat, which serves as offices for the 40-member appropriation committee and its staff, and immediately placed it under lock and key.

The sources said the SSS also sealed Mr. Jibrin’s office at Room 1.05 in the New House of Representatives building.
The development followed Mr. Jibrin’s statement on Thursday that Mr. Dogara ordered removal of workstation from the Appropriation Committee Secretariat and allegedly attempted to break into his office.

Mr. Jibrin had reportedly visited the SSS Headquarters on Friday to brief the agency about the budget padding scandal rocking the House. He also called on EFCC and ICPC to commence investigation into the crisis with a view to prosecuting those involved.

Efforts to reach the spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Abdulrazak Namdas, were unsuccessful as his phone was switched off. Speaker Dogara’s spokesperson, Turaki Hassan, disconnected a phone call upon hearing it was a PREMIUM TIMES’ enquiry.

Look at this one, trying to throw a cheap jab; does any of the duo carry a pdp membership card or apc membership card?

The budget is NOT internal affairs of NASS. Its a federal law. Anyone involved in the Criminal Conspiracy to STEAL half a Trillion Naira as alleged by Jubrin has violated a Federal Law!!!

They were imposed by pdp and oil thieves . They were NOT nominated by APC. And the forged rules that threw them up is now why Saraki and Ekweremadu are undergoing Criminal Trial.

Note that APC nominated Lawan for Senate and Gbajamiamila for HOR. But the oil thieves and pdp conspired, forged the rules, disenfranchised 51 APC members in the fraudulent Senate election and used the forged rules to to elect the pdp puppet Dogara.

Of course the duo carry APC cards. but the planet knows that APC will never like them to have peace and they are doing the bidding of the enemy, pdp

If Mr president still go by his statement that he is for nobody....then let Nigerian see such action.The facts remains that d budget has been padded nd those that did it should be punished irrespective of their political parties, tribes viz -a-viz sentiments. We now no that these people are not representing the interest of d common man ,they are after themselves. I don't care if u call it interferences by the executive or political witch hunts..let's fight corruption now together.

Throw away sentiments and ask yourself........ "Is what he said true or not"?

Great news to me!! But for the Constitution and the love of democracy, I would rather they had sealed the National Assembly.

These guys have shown they are nothing but a yoke on the back of the country.

ba7man:

What stupid sentiments are you talking about? Why blame PDP anytime there is rancour within the APC? On what platform did Dogora became a Rep? Was it oil thieves and PDP that sold him to APC? The earlier kids like you realise the problem is more than APC and PDP the better for us. These animals are uniting to milk us dry and yet we come online with our hard earned data to pick sides... What a shame.

Another lost soul on the lose. If Abdulmumuni Jibrin went to the DSS office to report and they come to close the office, how can you now make it a Buhari thing just because you are bettered for losing election? Look my brother, the way some of you reason beat the imagination of the dullest being on earth.

omenka:
He even called NASS the "house of assembly".

Don't just know why Samsung Flatrons are so damn dumb.

So you don't know the Senate and the House of Reps is also referred to as the National Assembly? Gross ignorance

No hiding place for corruption especially amongst dishonorables.

No more free flow of our oyel money

don't know why some people are allergic to good development...gbosa fun awon SSS jaree

omenka:
Samsung Flatrons should always learn to read before quoting Omenka.

Did the yoot say "National Assembly" or house of assembly??

By their dumbness, ye shall know them.

Now, get the Bleep out of my sight!

U are the one been stupid. Give the guy a break.

The NASS is a House of Assembly just the same way Abia State House of Assembly is. Both are houses of assembly.

Since the news is on the NASS, even a daft knows he is talking about the Nation's Assembly House, not that of any state.

Exactly, am waiting for Buhari to use his full power on this useless looters.
