REVEALED: Justice Salami Sitting Allowances, Emoluments And Luxurious Lifestyle That Made Him Ask For Extension | Sahara Reporters

Facts have emerged on the real reason the Justice Ayo Salami-led investigative panel looking into allegations of abuse of office and corruption against suspended Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, asked for an extension for the assignment.

Against public perception that the demand for an extension by Salami, a retired judge and former President of the Court of Appeal, was occasioned by the volume of work still left to do, SaharaRepoters on Wednesday reliably gathered that the request, which has been approved by President Muhammadu Buhari, who sanction a further

, was actually made so as to clear the way for chairman of the panel to continue feeding fat on tax payers' money.Apart from pocketing N250,000 each time the panel sits, retired Justice Salami has also been enjoying other benefits, which he is not willing to let go yet. For instance, he is lodged at the Presidential Suite at Transcorp in Abuja and was flown to Ilorin, Kwara State, in a Presidential jet for the last Sallah holiday.

Also, Salami is set to travel to London for medicals but the trip is being packaged to look like he is going to interrogate a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, who has been accused of financial misappropriation on a grand scale.
