Otedola Sues Tambuwal, Lawan, Others For N250bn by Leemladoja(m): 5:35am On Jul 02, 2012 |
The $620,000 bribery scandal involving a federal legislator, Farouk Lawan and businessman, Femi Otedola, has entered a new phase with Otedola asking a court to order Lawan and three others to pay him N250bn in damages. The suit coincides with petitions to the Inspector-General of Police by Lawan’s lawyers demanding a face-to-face confrontation between the lawmaker and the businessman. The amount, Otedola says, will compensate him for the loss of patronage he has suffered as a result of an alleged intimidation by the National Assembly. Listed as defendants in the suit number FCT /3839/2012 and filed on June 28, 2012 at the Abuja High Court, are Lawan, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal; the National Assembly and its Clerk. There had been a raging scandal in which Otedola, who is the Chairman of Zenon Oil and Gas Limited, claimed that he paid $620,000 as bribe to Lawan, the suspended Chairman of the House Ad hoc Committee that probed the management of fuel subsidy regime in the country. While Otedola said that he paid the bribe under pressure, Lawan claimed that he obtained the bribe in order to expose the businessman. The businessman’s company which had been removed from the list of subsidy thieves on the request of Lawan has, however, been re-listed by the House following the outbreak of the bribery scandal. Otedola, who is suing along with Zenon as the first plaintiff, said in his 28-paragraph statement of claim that the re-listing of Zenon on the list of indicted companies was an act of conspiracy. He claimed that the alleged conspiracy by both Tambuwal and the National Assembly was calculated to embarrass him and his company. In his statement of claim, Otedola states, “Notwithstanding the on-going Police investigations and the first defendant’s admission of receiving money from the second plaintiff, the second and fourth defendants conspired to relist the name of the first plaintiff to the list of indicted companies, to embarrass the plaintiffs and their corporate and business image. “The plaintiffs shall contend at trial that the conspiracy by the second and fourth defendants (Tambuwal and the National Assembly respectively) to re-list the name of the first plaintiff on the list of companies indicted by the ad-hoc committee is without basis given that the committee’s finding was arrived at without proper verification of documents submitted by the plaintiffs to aid their enquiry.” MORE ENTRIES ON http://www.dailyngnews.com/2012/07/otedola-sues-tambuwal-lawan-others-for.html |

Rubbish. You cannot sue any member of the national Assembly personally for actions taken on the floor of the national Assembly. Otedola has something to hide. He should release the video evidences he claim to hide. I am certain he is a tool by the cabal that control Mumu GEJ. |

The businessman’s company which had been removed from the list of subsidy thieves on the request of Lawan has, however, been re-listed by the House following the outbreak of the bribery scandal. Did Lawan initially remove Zenon Oil from the list of thieves unilaterally? Was it not the House that removed the Company? I think before this their foo.lishness goes any further, the House will have to tell Nigerians 2 things: 1. The REASON they removed the Company's name from the list; 2. The REASON they relisted it on the list. |

I love this. Otedola is about to answer for his sins. Those guys should say that Otedola has no reputation to speak of to start with A man who colluded with auditors to doctor AP's accounts to show a profit With his friends, he colluded to acquire shares in AP worth N24.5b on credit. N24.5b is about how much you need for a banking licence Anyway Farouk is still croaking http://tribune.com.ng/index.php/front-page-news/43454-farouk-lawan-dares-police-to-release-videocall-logs-as-reps-probe-otedola-sss-sting-operation Farouk Lawan dares police to release video/call logs •As Reps probe Otedola, SSS sting operation "SUSPENDED chairman of the House of Representatives ad hoc committee that investigated the Federal Government’s fuel subsidy regime, Honourable Farouk Lawan, has challenged the police and other security agencies to produce call logs and video clips of his encounter with Mr Femi Otedola. This is just as he insisted that he reported the attempted bribe to the police a month before Otedola addressed the press on the issue. This is coming as the House Committee on Ethics and Privileges is set to summon Otedola to give his own side of the story, even as reports indicated that Lawan has requested for a face-to-face encounter with Otedola before the House probe committee." |

NASS, which law have they passed since they were inaugurated ? Its a shame that an apparent bribery case with all evidence cant be prosecuted. Why is the SSS not sending this case to special tribunal. I need special tribunal set up to award Facrook maximum sentence for his crime. |

Akanbi_edu: Is Otedola's father still alive? My brother, the likes of Otedola rely on political patronage for their business dominance. This is the reason Otedola is described as an AGIP i.e "any Government in power". The likes of Otedola have turned AGIPism into a science. Otedola should indeed write a book for others of his ilk who are totally and vacuously devoted to the acquisition of stupendous wealth without the innate intelligence to appreciate that such wealth is worthless when a decimated Nation , letting down the vast majority, is the result of their unthinking greed and lack of altruism. |

Otedola is really pissing me off big time and i'm beginning to doubt him, if he has the video and call-log evidence as he claimed, he should just release it to public domain or forever STFU. |

One has to ask why altruistic Otedola is forever getting mired in sordid events like the ones reported below.
