The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir David- Lawal, on Wednesday, informed the Senate that he will not appear before the Committee probing his alleged involvement in the diversion of funds for the Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, in the North-East.
Recall, that the SGF was invited by the Senate Ad-hoc Committee, investigating the mounting humanitarian crisis in the North-East, to appear before it, on Thursday.
Lawal, was alleged to have misapplied billions of naira meant for the care of displaced persons in the North-East.
The report also said Lawal compromised his position, by allegedly awarding contracts to a company he had interest in.
However, Lawal in a letter titled: “Letter of invitation”, and addressed to Senator Sani, told the Lawmaker that he would not appear before the Committee, because he had gone to court to challenge his invitation.
Lawal’s letter obtained by our Reporter read in part: “Dear Distinguished Senator Shehu Sani,
“Your letter of invitation to appear before the above Committee refers.
“I wish to kindly request that you draw the attention of other members of the Committee, that I will not be able to appear before the Committee, primarily because I have gone to court to challenge the invitation, among others.
“Please, find attached the court documents.
“Please, accept my highest regards.
“Engr, Babachir David Lawal.”
