Beaf:

It takes a low self-esteemed fool to pretend to be another person. But then you are a fool, so not much is expected.
Why pretend to ne me? Your d.i.c.k too small or what?

mINI ME

This job must be soooo hard for you. You are so confused and r3tarded like your master GEJ

- EFCC said they have nothing on their table about bribery allegation
- It is very obvious there is no any video

Go back and finish the 'usual service' on oga to calm your brain down.

Jarus: Confirmed from a very reliable source. The Faruk Lawan subsidy scandal is unfortunately true. Fell for set-up by EFCC, SSS etc. Deleted many names from the subsidy indictment list. Now, I have no doubt again that the only politician with 100% integrity is a dead one.

bayooooooo:

Jarus you are correct. Lawan indeeed soiled his hands. I have been able to confirm from a reliable source as well.

pyx: many fools will comments and send cabals to jail with the tips of their fingers. How many of such probe has led to jail if not for a loud noise and later to die down. Forget it Nogeria is like a home Video where you watch different types of films produced in Alaba just to raise your emotion and give some foolish Newspaper Proprietors' money. The people in Government like to keep us busy will all these stuffs.

Demdem:

u have a good point and before we know it the "Cabals" will be the main beneficiary. Those criminals that made us pay more than 900% above the budgetary allocation for subsidy will never be brought to book.

Umunede: Only God know how many names were omitted from the subsidy report because of they settled? Farouk Lawan messed up woefully.

bayooooooo: A Synopsis of Events:

1. The subsidy funds were fraudulently used to finance 2011 election. [Just check figures for 2010 and 2011, the obvious illogical increase explains everything).

2.The government of GEJ knows that the opposition is aware of above fact.

3.Looking at the somewhat cordial relationship between Tambuwal and opposition, GEJ concluded that opposition was behind the probe and would use the report to instigate mass protests and discredit his government.

4.GEJ commissioned SSS to explore the political angle by monitoring call logs of Ad Hoc committee members.

5.To GEJ's greatest amazement, no opposition element was involved. Nevertheless, the probe must be discredited.

6.That necessitated the set up for Lawan and he greedily fell for it. GEJ was exploring options of Tambuwal complicity to look for ways to remove him and put his SW stooge there. They were shocked that Tambuwal was not even aware until OBJ showed him the details.

7.The sole aim of discrediting the report has been achieved. All that's needed to trash this report is a suit to challenge its credibility.

8.GEJ is not interested in punishing Lawan, Lawan is still in possession of putrid details that can bring any government down.

9.There will be accusations and recriminations, FL will be charged to court but nothing substantial will come out of it.

10. Bottom line, GEJ is running the most corrupt government in the history of Nigeria.

Jarus: Confirmed from a very reliable source. The Faruk Lawan subsidy scandal is unfortunately true. Fell for set-up by EFCC, SSS etc. Deleted many names from the subsidy indictment list. Now, I have no doubt again that the only politician with 100% integrity is a dead one.

rolchi: ^^^
So, where is the money now? Is it with the Police Acting IG, or the House Chairman on the EFCC or with Farouk Lawan himself?

nsiadi: Nobody expects Farouk Lawan to just own up
Even Hembe made a spirited effort on the house floor to prove his innocence
We all know what followed
Farouk Lawan should tell us which version of video footage he is referring to
Grape vine has it that his friends, who are looking for soft landing, have doctored the original video
If he is so sure of what he is talking of he should have released the video he referred to

onthefence:

Is Farouk the maker of the video? Is it in his possession. Is the authentic video not with the SSS?

nsiadi:

If Farouk Lawan is not dumb he should have owned up or put a better defense
The caricature thing looks watery. He needs serious image laundering.
He didnt even talk of taking legal action!!!!
See what I mean? He looks guilty as charged

I reported Otedola’s bribe to Police and EFCC in April – Farouk Lawan

The Chairman of the House of Representatives ad hoc committee which probed the management of the Fuel subsidy scheme, Farouk Lawan on Monday said that he reported the $3 million bribe to the Police and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) law enforcement agents as far back as April 24.

Documents released by National Assembly sources to the media, revealed that Mr Lawan allegedly informed the House Committee on Financial Crimes in a letter dated April 24, 2012, of pressures to offer him bribe to influence the outcome of the investigation into the fuel subsidy scheme.

In a letter to the leadership of the House, Mr Lawan also said his “life has been under constant threat since the fuel probe begun.”

eGuerrilla:

Please help me understand how it is in his best interest to own up to a crime he does not think he committed.
If as claimed, he did make it known to the relevant authorities that he was about to "accept" a bribe, what exactly should he now own up to?

Given the befuddlement evident in some of the questions being asked here, I think few commentators appreciate FL's famed command of the English language and much less his his deliberate use of the word "caricature"

As I see it, he appears to have his bases covered adequately, so the only real tragedy is likely to be a report left to gather dust.

nsiadi:

You will be singing a different tune if digest response from Otedola
Doesnt Farouk Lawan recognise the power of the press?
Remember the house will try to protect their own
But even @ that an alert mind can always differentiate bw facts & AFTER THOUGHTS
Keep watching the drama---when their theatrical trick fails you will see how the house will dump Farouk Lawan
No sane person will like to go down with him. ( Do you remember their reason for dis allowing display of the loot in the house?)

As the police await Lawan’s response, some of his friends and close associates have assembled a five-man legal team to defend the lawmaker.
Members of the legal team include two Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN) with high reputation.

An associate, who spoke in confidence, said: “We are set for a major legal battle ahead because the police are after the retrieval of the bribe sum to enable them arraign Lawan in court.

“We are suspecting a premeditated plot to rope Lawan in because Otedola admitted that he was part of a sting operation of the State Security Service(SSS). By implication, he has said that he is a state agent.
“That is why it will be more convenient for us to meet in court to tender the money exhibit than to give it to the police or any security agency.
“If it was a sting operation, the onus lies on those behind it to provide evidence and not Lawan. When we meet in court, the world will hear what they never heard.
“Lawan’s legal team is already on standby for his defence.”

When pressed further, the associate said: “The police cannot claim ignorance of the fact that after the receipt of the June 4 letter, Lawan and some highly-placed members of the House were at the Force Headquarters on June 6.

Already, curious members of the House have cut short their one-week recess to return to Abuja watch the video tape or listen to the audio tape of the alleged bribe saga in Abuja.

An excited member of the House, who listened to the audio tape, said: “I have heard what transpired; it is just unfortunate, I am sad. But as you people are doing your job, we will keep on enjoying the drama until we resume.”

Another House member said: “I have watched the video. It looked more real than a make-up. But when we come back, we will hear from Lawan before we crucify him. “
A member of the Ad Hoc Committee said: “Just let the world know that it was a one-man show. Members of the committee had nothing to do with it.”
