Jibrin storms DSS office to effect arrest of Dogara
Abdulmumin Jibrin is not happy that the Speaker is yet to be arrested and prosecuted.
So he, late Friday evening, stormed the headquarters of the Department of State Services, Abuja, to seek the arrest of Yakubu Dogara for the alleged budget padding.
In a tweet on his official Twitter handle, the former Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, said he was at the DSS headquarters as of 7.30pm on Friday to call for the arrest of Dogara and other members involved in the padding.
“Just arrived SSS HQ. The journey to get Speaker Dogara and other members of the corrupt group has begun!”

Jibrin is reported to have petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) regarding the alleged budget padding.
He said on Thursday that he still has more and more allegations of corruption against the Speaker and other lawmakers he accused of corruption and will continue to reveal them until they are arrested and prosecuted.
