In two videos released, the Governor was caught receiving part of $5m bribe from a contractor and stuffing them in his pockets.

The first video was released to the public on Sunday while the second, on Monday.

The money was part of tranches received amounting to about $5million from contractors in the state.


According to Daily Nigerian, contractors said that the governor personally receives from 15 to 25 percent kickbacks for every project executed in the state.

The governor has vehemently denied the bribe allegations as he said the videos were doctored.
