House Of Rep Suspends Jibrin Abdulmumin

Abdulmumin Jibrin has been suspended. The House of Representatives suspended the lawmaker from Kano at the centre of the unfolding budget padding scandal, for 180 legislative days today.



The House seats three days in a week which means Jibrin’s suspension would last more than a year.

In a motion recommended by House Ethics Committee chairman, Nicholas Ossai, and adopted by the whole House, Mr. Jibrin will also not be able to hold any position of responsibility for the span of the current National Assembly.
