A former Board of Trustees (BoT) chairman of the main opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Walid Jibril has revealed that recently, some suspected bandits/kidnappers forcefully entered his rented apartment at Brains and Hammers Estate Apo 3 FCT Abuja and seriously vandalized the main bedroom, carting away vital documents.
Senator Walid Jibril Sarkin Fulani of Nasarawa State, revealed this to journalists in Kaduna.
He further said that, “they tied my house boy, Awwalu and told him that they came to take away five billion Naira hidden by me and also take away some so- called ammunition kept by me, but unfortunately they found nothing at all”.
Walid Jibril continued revealing that, ” I was not at home when they came in the afternoon, they forced my house boy Awwalu to the bed room but found nothing.
“Then they took away my house boy and later dropped him somewhere after informing him that they took the action, looking for such big amount of five billion Naira and some ammunition kept in the house.
“The bandits came in about seven Jeeps, eight persons with sophisticated arms,” Sen Walid revealed.
Senator Walid Jibril said he had since reported the matter to the Inspector General of Police who directed the CP FCT to handle the matter and the Commissioner of Police is still on investigation.
“I want every one to know that even the Brains and Hammers Estate is fully a rented house, which expires in three months.
” I disabuse the mind of anybody who is thinking that I have such money mentioned by the bandits. All my bank accounts are free for checking by any authority, please”.
” I have never kept such amount of money or any ammunition in my house. It is important also for the general public in the whole world to note that I do not have any personal house in Abuja FCT, also, I don’t have any personal house in my local government headquarters in Nasarawa or any house in Nasarawa State capital in Lafia.
“Just because I want to remain a man of honour and integrity who never worked with the Federal Government for a single reason that I want to remain as company executive in the Nigerian Textiles and now a national life patron of the industry and also a strategic member of the National Council of Manufacturers Association of Nigeria.
” I voluntarily resigned from a prestigious position of national Board of Trustees (BoT) chairman of People Democratic Party which means that I am a true Nigerian politician that served up to that position”, Jibril added.
