Musa said this had become necessary to enable Otedola respond to some of the revelations made by Lawan when he appeared before the committee.

Lawan who arrived the House Meeting room 4.59, venue of the hearing, at exactly 1.05pm looked relaxed in his white caftan with a white hat to match. However, shortly after saying the prayers and reading his opening speech, Musa ordered journalists out of the venue of the hearing.

Musa further stated that it was the responsibility of the Committee to unravel what actually transpired during its investigations. He had explained that Lawan had to be interrogated in camera to avoid jeopardizing the Committee’s investigations.

He agreed to collecting the money as evidence, which he, as he claimed, turned in to another official.

All these are talks, no evidence. No video, just "I did" "He did" "We did".

Atheist:-D:
If Otedola had not recorded Farouk Lawan, would most people know what went down in the PSF scheme and NNPC in general?

How many companies would have escaped after bribing?
How many innocent companies would have been made to carry the blame for everything?
the real culprits would have escaped (Diezani, Ibikunle, Reginald Stanley).

We need to open our eyes more to things, investigate further, understand what goes on in the industry. There is no rush to get results. We need to get the right results.

In the UK, the hacking scandal took 4 years to come to light. In that time the scope of the hacking and involvement has been exposed for all to see.

Ileke-IdI:



Plz post the "recording" that you saw here.

PDP is trying everything in its power to bring this man down. . . . while the case EFCC vs Patience was swept under the carpet.

gregg2: Lawan collects money, not bribe.

Ileke-IdI:
Dude is still fine sha.

Such a cute face I'll die if he's guilty.

On the contrary, looking at the then argument of the governement with the hindsight of recent happenings, it gives credences to the fact that the government meant to remove the dubious incentive of this subsidy from the companies profiteering from it without any/appropraite Petroluem product to show for it. I strongly believe this now.. how then can you explain how someone indicted for taking the remunerations for a product not delivered will be willing to pay up to the tune of $10M!!!!!!.. becuase it is chicken change to them, the honey pot is worth more than that!

Atheist:-D:



He took the money, removed Zenon from the list. The so called officials he handed it to are denying he gave it to them. Logic would dictate that he was lying. The reports coming out are that some major companies were excluded from his report but are now being exposed as being major players in this fraud. How come he never higlighted them in his so called report? kPMG did an audit a year ago, where the hell is that? What was in it?

Have you read the subsidy probe report by the House of Rep in its entirety? We need to be patient and smart in following this. A lot is about to be unearthed.

Investigations showed that the police probe into the matter was compounded by the refusal of the State Security Service to provide the Special Task Force with the original copy of the video recording of what transpired between Lawan and Otedola.

Our correspondents learnt that the STF was not making progress in the investigation because of[b] its inability to know the whereabouts of the money.[/b]

This came to the fore on Wednesday as[b] Jagaba and members of the committee on fuel subsidy again shunned the police invitation.[/b]

“Otedola told me he could serve as a link to collect money from the Presidency so that the report will be watered down. Having seen him as a friend, I consistently turned down such offers politely but firmly, but when I saw his desperation after the release of the report, I decided to play along and use his case as example of those who tried to compromise us (committee members),” Lawan wrote.

Beaf:

Then better kill your self already; your tragic taste for what is attractive is more than enough reason anyway.
Be reminded though, that this is the politics section where id!otic comments about looks hold no water. A thief is a thief.

Ileke-IdI:


Na so you wish for my death?
It would make things easier for lazy, lying conniving fools like you, I see.
What happened to ignoring Ileke-IdI? I was so enjoying it. Odeku.

Beaf:

Abeg, keep calling Farouk a fine boy and saying thats proof he isn't a thief jare.
By the way, whether you decide to hang yourself, jump off Brooklyn Bridge or guzzle otapiapia when Farouk is found guilty will be entirely your show. NL would simply sigh in relief.

lanre_front: @Beaf = Dedeike = Billionyare = Reno Omokri + numerous unknown ids,

Stop trying to confuse Nairalanders and Nigerians. All that has come to light recently, the mind-blowing corruption in the subsidy regime, the subsidy-report, the $620k bribe-taking-&-giving, alledged $10m bribe-taking-&-giving: all this does not prove that the [fanthom] subsidy has to be removed completely.

Actually it PROVES THE EXACT OPPOSITE of the position you are trying to dupe Nigerians into accepting. It proves that there is no need for any subsidy. It proves that the original N245 billion naira appropriated for subsidy is more than enough or enough. It proves that Jonathan, just like Lawan is a thief, by spending N3000 billion naira for THIS SAME ITEM which an ADEQUATE N245 billion naira was apprropriated for by the National Assembly WITHOUT RESORTING back to the Assembly to ask for permission. If Jonathan did not ILLEGALY & CRIMINALLY approve the money, the theiving marketeters wouldn't have been able to theif the money. So just who has the GREATER RESPONSIBILTY here, and who is the GREATER THEIF here.

People wonder why Joanthan is evidently not interested in implementing the subsdiy report. (Before you GEJ Ass-lickers shout the current report has been compromised, then the President should ORDER ANOTHER ONE FOR GOD'S SAKE!! It's that simple) It's because there there is no way the the marketers can be idicted without Joanthan and the Presidency being indicted.

Will someone in charge of Nairaland for God's sake ban this Beaf and his multiple IDs. I think Nairaland's credibilty is at stake here.

Ileke-IdI:


Believe me, I'm making no excuse for the man, if he's guilty then he's guilty.

They claimed that there's a video, but no videos are being brought up. Nobody wants to cooperate with the police investigation. It all seems like "whose words against who", everything buffered up with bias.

The whereabouts of the money is unknown.

With dead ends, no tangible evidence, and he-says-I-say-They-say, do they simply expect us to accused a man who might possibly not be guilty?
