Emerging report, revealed that the Nigerian Police, acting on the instruction of the Presidency, have seized 18 files belonging to the Senate, containing details of the 2017 budget estimates.
The files were found during the Police raid of the residence of the Chairman of Senate Committee on Appropriation, Danjuma Goje, last Thursday.
Sources on Saturday, revealed that the raid of Goje’s residence, and the seizure of the files, may affect the passage of the 2017 budget estimates.
Recall, that a special team of officers from the Force Headquarters, Abuja, on Thursday, carried out a raid on the Asokoro residence of Goje, a former Governor of Gombe State.
“In order to get full attention, he and many other members of the Committee, don’t just work in the office, but even in their private offices, to get the job done as quickly as possibleCommenting on the incidence, a source said: “Goje had been working for ‘almost 24 hours’ everyday – including weekends and public holidays – because his Committee is under pressure to lay its report for deliberation by the whole Senate, and subsequent passage of the budget.
“But since this raid, he was not able to do anything, and you can say the work regarding the budget as far as the Senate is concerned, has stopped”, he said.
Recall, that the proposed budget, estimated at N7.29 trillion, was initially slated to be passed before the end of March, 2017.
They later gave a May 5 deadline for the passage, but Goje hinted in late March, that this might not be feasible.
Apart from the files and other documents, the Police also allegedly carted away N18 million, $19,000, and 4,000 Saudi Riyal in cash, from the residence of the former Gombe State Governor.
When contacted, the Police Spokesman, Jimoh Moshood, declined to speak in details about the raid, saying further investigation had commenced.
