$500,000 Bribe: Supreme Court Affirms Farouk Lawan’s Five-year Sentence by jamesodu(m): 11:29am On Jan 26

The Supreme Court has affirmed the five-year jail term handed to a former member of the House of Representatives, Farouk Lawan by the Court of Appeal.

Lawan was convicted and sentenced to prison in 2021 for accepting $500,000 bribe from businessman, Femi Otedola, Chairman, Zenon Petroleum and Gas Ltd.

In a unanimous judgment on Friday, a five-member panel affirmed the 2022 judgment of the Court of Appeal which upheld Lawan’s sentencing to five years in respect of only count three on the three-count charge on which he was tried at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

In the lead judgment prepared by Justice John Okoro but read on Friday by Justice Tijjani Abubakar, the apex count found that Lawan’s appeal was without merit and proceeded to dismiss it.

The way this man was running from pillar to post to avoid judgement is what the Pandora Criminal Peter Obi as been doing since Marvel Akpoyibo then Lagos commissioner of police caught him red handed looting ₦250 million monthly from Anambra coffers with his governor's convey.

From APGA to PDP n now labour all just to evade prosecution from court. If not Mike Okiro Who Was the IG then n demand that Marvel Akpoyibo should not lock the bastard up na jail he for de till now.

Tribalism will definitely destroy Nigeria sooner or later with fools n criminal s like Peter obi on the landscape.

Only Tinubu's government is bold enough to nail this thief's coffin.

Now to the useless thief, instead of serving his jail term at a young age about 10 years ago, now he will be serving with an older and weaker body.

Well, Emilokan Tinubu may pardon him to get his Constituency's votes. That is Politics

Tales by moonlight. Yet he has never been summoned since he left office. If you and fellow misfits in APC really had anything against him. You lots would have gone to court to nail him. Stop tarnishing he image of an innocent man. Your criminal corrupt principal can only marvel at the personality of Obi. I know you're paid to comment foolishly but do so with some sense you halfwit. Obi will continue to be your nightmare. All of you in APC, Obi will keep giving you guys sleepless nights. Your tears are so sweet....keep crying tongue

Good judgement 👌.

Corruption must die in our darling nation,
Whether the thieves and looters like it or not.

For the bad and corrupt politicians since 1960 up till present that took our darling nation 100 years back by blind looting and stealing.
They will never go Scot free in their looting and criminal lifestyle, terrible end await them all......including their supporters.
