\u201cBefore I came to this place, they were selling slots. The place was like a market, and you can find out from people who live in Abuja if I am lying.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I came in, I met all the commissioners, and I told them that they gave us the Qur\u2019an [to swear on]. I don\u2019t want anything that would destroy me or my family,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

Mrs Dankaka was scheduled to appear before the committee on Tuesday but claimed that she had a medical appointment.<\/p>\n

She was, however, countered by some FCC commissioners, who said she lied about her health status to avoid appearing before the committee.<\/p>\n

The chairman of the committee, Yusuf Gagdi, subsequently summoned the Head of Service and Chairman of the Civil Service Commission.<\/p>\n
