EFCC resurrects 2012 money laundering case against Hon Abdulmumini Jibrin.

There are indications that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) may have reopened a suspended probe of money laundering allegations against former chairman of House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumuni Jibrin.



The anti graft agency has also commenced fresh investigation over several petitions of alleged fraudulent diversion of contracts in his Bebeji/Kiru Federal Constituency and other sundry petitions against him.

Jibrin was said to have been summoned to answer questions over allegations of money laundering, particularly the Nassaraws case which was dropped in 2012 in unclear circumstances.

It will be recalled that Jibrin was arraigned along with former Nasarawa State Governor, Aliyu Akwe Doma over N15 billion money laundering allegations.

He was specifically charged for laundering over N2 billion through his company, Green Forest Investment Limited when Doma was Nasarawa state governor.

The new disposition against Jibrin may have forced him to seek judicial protection as a source said “upon receiving signals that he (Jibrin) may soon be charged to court by the EFCC, he rushed to court on Thursday August 10, 2016 seeking injunction restraining the Police and other anti-graft agencies from arresting or charging him to court.”

Former Appropriation committee chairman recently petitioned the EFCC and police alleging budget padding corruption against Speaker Yakubu Dogara and three other principal officers of the House.
