KINGSLEY BENNETH, ABUJA
ABUJA: The House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions has invited Segun Agbaje to provide clarity to allegations leveled against him by the Arewa Consultative Youth Movement (ACYM).
ACYM had accused Agbaje of what it described as “fictitious 1 trillion Naira profit,” as it listed other infractions to include “unwarranted, incessant deductions of customers’ funds among others.”
Recall that the President of Arewa Consultative Youth Movement, Alhaji Yusuf Kabiru, through a member Hon. Nnamdi Ezechi had submitted a petition to the lawmakers seeking investigation of Agbaje, which was laid at plenary on 25 September.
