The bribe for clearance scandal rocking to the House of Rep is getting messy by the day and from information available to Olufamous.com, all is not well in the camp of Hon. Farouk Lawan as a large part of the "actual dollars" that were given to him (and his colleague) by Mr. Femi Otedola have been used "for personal comfort".
This development, according to credible sources, is responsible for Farouk's delay in appearing before the Nigeria Police, as he's believed to be trying to put the money together.
His dilemma, Olufamous.com learnt, is that the "actual dollars" were marked and Farouk might be finding it difficult to achieve such markings accurately.
Mr. Otedola, Chairman of Zenon Petroleum, who blew the lid on Farouk's illegal activities, had voluntarily gone to the police on Tuesday to state his side of the story. At the end, Mr. Otedola pleaded with the Police to insist that Farouk must return the "actual dollars" he gave to him.
Although Farouk has not showed up before the police, adding he will not release the $620,000 because that is his only evidence. But according to those in the know, the real reason why Farouk is delaying to honour the police invitation is because he can't produce the "actual dollars" which he has already spent and if he produces another $620,000 other than the original one he would have betrayed many Nigerians who trusted him.
It is interesting to also note that Hon. Jagaba, the Chairman of the House Committee on the FCT to whom Farouk had claimed he wrote a letter and tendered the bribe money to has denied ever receiving either money or a letter from Farouk.
Disgrace of d highest magnitude
ReplyDeletePeople close to this man should watch him let him not commit suicide because the shame will be too much if it is true. WALE
ReplyDeleteWale we don't have shame in this country. Suicide is never an option o.He will rather come out and tell more lies,n b hopefull that something big will happen soon to distract Nigerians from his case. Very soon all this will b swept under d rug,na today. Mschewwww
DeleteNothing is as disgraceful as a man who build's a great house and ended up destroying same by his own foolishness... I'm still hoping Farouk can come out clean. *tears*
ReplyDelete@D',i concure with you,am also shading sorrowful tears with you cos i trusted Farouk so much
Delete@wale, you are right. For farouk lawan to face this national disgrace, it might lead to commit suicide. Is better to be an ex-convict than commitin suicide. I felt pity for him. Femi otedola has totally finished farouk political career. What is otedola gain in all this show?
ReplyDelete@Comrade Bitrus,you ask like you dont know Nigerian way of dirty politics.Otedola have gained everything at least this move have vindicated him from the subsidy probe and come rain come shine,he have gotten green light as in his hands are clean from subsidy allegation against his company.
DeleteLets wait and watch the outcome b4 passing judgement. God help Nigerians!
ReplyDeleteIf hon Farouk survives this monumental case against him on bribery, he will not survive politically in nigeria's future democratic dispensation on his bid to vie for governorship election for kano state in 2015. He is politically harmstrung and shall remain like that.
ReplyDeletePolice should do their work thoroughly to excavate hidden offences on the oil subsidy scam and get all the dishonorable members affected in this makeba dance arrested hence they are not covered by immunity clause in the constitution.
Long live Odetola.
