Jibrin had accused the Speaker of the House of Reps, Yakubu Dogara of allegedly inflating the budget.
However, the 1999 Constitution bars public officers from owning and operating foreign accounts.
Jibrin is yet to confirm or deny the allegation on his social media platforms or via his media aides.
