The House of Representatives Committee on Wednesday suspended it’s former Appropriations Committee Chairman, Abdulmumin Jibrin for 180 legislative days.
He was also barred from holding any position of responsibility in the House for the rest of the eighth National Assembly.
He was also directed to tender a written apology to the House.
This is sequel to the adoption of the report of the committee on Ethics and Privileges which investigated allegations of breach of privileges of the House and its members.
Chairman of the Ethics Committee, Nicolas Ossai, who presented the committee’s findings and recommendations, said the Committee found all the allegations against Jibrin to be true.
He also said all efforts to get the accused to appear before the committee proved abortive.
