doctokwus: My take :Otedola wt his companies are complicit in d fuel subsidy scam.He got pissed dat FL& his committee want to meddle in sth dat has bn ongoing,further got pissed @d mention of his comp's name in d initial report,wanted to thus kill d report& nail Fl,offers d bribe mony in a sting operation;Fl like d average corrupt nigerian politician sees it as an avenue to mke fast millions,falls for d bait while keeping some part of d report true to his committee's findings,collects part payment while being video-taped& waits for d rest.Suddenly d scheme is exposed by Otedola who thinks its a straightforward exposee wt video evidence to boot,tips off some nigerian journalists wt monetary incentives.But he doesn't reckon dat Fl is an old fox in d game;d latter,boxed to a corner& about to see his long worked for charade exposed,formulates his own,clearly backdated story,to rope in Otedola,in league wt other committee members,gets equivalent amt of dollars he was given& refuses to release it,knowing fully well,some if not all wud b fd to b unmarked,unlike d 'original' from d SSS/Otedola.
Its a case of 2 thieves trying to outfox each other,with d interest of d nigerian nation not evn in consideration,but basal greed& protection of business/political interest being paramount.

A poor written script . . . . Review your storyline so that it may sell very well undecided

Ms_Oluchi:
Farouk is just as guilty as Otedola. i pray Nigerians see thru his lies and stupidity. Didn't he just say that neither him nor any of his committee members collected any bribe? He has now changed his story now that he has been out-rightly exposed. He should go and hang himself! shameless man! angry
please madam,its glaringly obvious you've not been following this case. Otedola,on hearing the option of bribe took the case to the sss,the later provided him with video camcoders, voice recorders and ''SERIALISED 620k DOLLAR BILLS'' as bait and undoubting evidence,and you think Otedola is hit, huh?! Educatiön in the north must be refurbished with elevated face lift so as to foster good comprehension for lawan's kids and your likes. Haba! Comon understanding is 'count air' assignment for nigerian illiterate literates.

Why will Otedola Give Bribe if his Zenon wasn't Involved. The Police Memo will be the Only evidence that saved Farouk. Otedola should be Arrested Immediately if FG. Is NOT a Primary school.lol.

Silva79: Pls guys,i went through d list and i saw zenon oil among the names of d offenders. How could he have collected the so called bribe and included d name of his company? And y is otedola bragging bout d so called mess?
you are refering to the first released list that out before Otedola gave lawan the sss seialised $620k bills. After this bucks exchanged hands, the second list was released. Here, forte and zenon oil were no where near,get it?

After all, Obj was right in calling them rogues. If not, they should prove otherwise. But why should lawan farouk change his statement from I never collected bribe to later I collected bribe only to expose Otedola. Those evidences provided by Lawan could easily be forged after all.

ifihearam: If I say I am totally disapppinted in Farouk Lawan its an understatement,that midget is a thief and he even had the audacity to produce an indictment report.

I strongly believe Obj had this before he openly called them rogues,perhaps Otedola went to him with the evidence

If you follow thye story very well, it was Obj that gave the video tape to the Speaker. Who invited Farouk with other leadership of the house.
Farouk denied in the meeting that he had visited or collected bribe from Otedola, he only foot-pedaled when he was informed that what went on was recorded.
For obviuos reasons, Farouk was lying. He called in on Raypower Political Platform program yesterday, and deined ever seeing any money, talkless of collecting it.
He said the video was his caricature. Obviously, when he made that statement, he hads not seen the video himself.
Having heard what he said about the caricature, someone must have shown him the video and try to analyse it to him that no one, if the vido get to the public would believe it was his caricature.
That was the point he realised that he was in deep shit. And change his story.
I expected him to come up with another round of story though, because this story of his, was not properly cooked.

Accusations and counter-accusations, blames and counter blames, punches and counter-punches, round houses and mule kicks, so what gives?

So Femi Otedola has suddenly grown a conscience and wants to expose Farouk Lawan and his ilk as the "corrupt legislooters" they are? We already know that the National Assembly is a House of Thieves, he need not bother. Wonders then that his obvious zeal for his fatherland and renewed sense of patriotism did not inform him to blow the whistle on Lawan until the probe report was published? Or did Mr. Lawan collect the bribe yesterday? His actions are tantamount to trying to discredit the umpire after the game and thereby nullify its results. At least Arunma Oteh had the good sense to 'rat out' Herman Hermbe while the SEC probe was on-going, and another was appointed in his stead to complete the exercise. More than Lawan's actions, Otedola's motives are quite ulterior.

I don't care much for either Lawan or Otedola, but I have a good sense to which of the duo would be happier if the Fuel Subsidy scammers never get to see the inside of a court room.

Well the question is silly. But read Otedola's version of the story, he explained why he was furious with Farouk's committee and was advised by SSS to play along.

It obvious that you hv not been following the storyline from the onset.
Otedola didnt give his own dollars to Farouk.The money he gave to Farouk is a serialised dollar notes given to Otedola by SS to track Farouk.You shud note that Otedola contacted the SS from the onset when the pressure on him from Farouk to pay bribe to remove his companies from the companies indicted was too much.SS advised Otedola to play along and they gave him serialsed dollar notes,video and voice recorder

Re: Farouk Lawan: Femi Otedola's $500K Bribe Was To Expose Him by deenee: 11:41am On Jun 12, 2012
Bullocks! If he took the bribe to expose the corrupt marketers, why did it take him seven weeks to bring the money out as evidence? Why did he deny the allegation vehemently when the speaker House of rep Hon. Tanbuwal confronted him and he later accepted mildly after watching the ill fated video footage?

It is on record that Zenon deals with diesel which is not subsidized. So who is fooling who? There are records and call logs of several conversations that he has with Femi Otedola also submitted as evidence which implicate him in the whole issue. More so, the operation was carried out by SSS operative, and yet the SSS chief has claimed "ignorance" of the whole sting. Yet again, Nigeria is back at "square one" whilst we are busy tearing ourselves down and taking sides blindly along ethnic and tribal lines!

I am not holding sway for both parties because quite frankly, I think that we would be better off if both of them and their cohorts fade into oblivion but personally, I believe that there is a bigger picture and hidden motive in the whole fiasco. Let's watch as the events unfold. God bless Nigeria.

Farouk Lawan is a thief. Agreed.
