bayooooooo: Lawan will not be sentenced on the pages of Newspaper. All the pieces of evidence available at the public domain so far can not be used to even convict a world renown devil. They are too weak to even warrant prosecution as a mere no case submission will get those charges dropped.

The purported audio can even be discredited on sole account of incompleteness. If it's incomplete, then it must have been edited and if edited, it's not far fetched to emboss the notorious word "doctored" on the brea$t plate of the evidence and get it inadmissible in the court of law. Leaking this type of evidence does a great disservice to the case. It's even worse if the leakage is not emanating from the Police which as investigators are the rightful custodians of evidence.

I am of the opinion that the whole hullabaloo is to discredit the subsidy report and renders it infertile, worthless and non implementable.The powers that be are not interested in unearthing the truth not to even talk of meting out deserved punishment else the house would not call Otedola for a patently laughable in door session and the SSS that purportedly led the sting operation allowed the evidence to be discredited even before prosecution.

PDP is a party of kleptomaniacal thieves, wicked killers, recidivist liars, unpardonable villains and it will stop at nothing to see the destruction of Nigeria. The earlier we voted the thieves in power out the better for this country.

this gradual release of 'evidence' seem like a ploy to garner public support. if the entrapment was carried out with the full support of the SSS as purported, they should have procured evidence of his culpability and the issue of searching for said 'marked' funds shouldn't have arisen. The lawmaker should have been picked as he had the evidence on him. but what do i know?

this charade is beginning to look like R.Kelly's in the closet (and boy did I get bored with that at some point).

Hahahahahahaha

High level politics is going on. Soft landing is going on. Corruption is being us to cover up corruption. That's what is going on. Those of you who thought this is a done deal for the case against Otedollar are sorely mistaken.

in the begining of this saga, i asked why sss are keeping mute in this matter? now it is obvious that they were not involved as Femi made us believe, if not why can't police retrive info from sss and nail farouk? now this is what i think that really happend, there was bribry r/ship between Femi and Farouk, the job was executed as agreed upon but Femi refuse to pay up the balance, hence the uproar. Farouk never new Femi could go public, it was suprise attack, hence the initial denial. the treat of vidio and audio recording made him admit. got some lawyer or tips from SSS personel who adviced him that Femi may not really have SSS relationship in the matter, so he refuse to produce the cash evidence as it will be easy to denai audio evidence. if my tot is right, then, Farouk will b legally free, it's a pity legality is a big problem. but if Femi take it persoal he wil sure wil nail farouk given his finacial weight except there is intervention from GEJ

9 questions Farouk Lawan has for Otedola

•Why is this audio recording being played in bits and pieces, rather than enbloc and wholly?

•How come that an audio recording which ought to be played on Radio for a listening public is being aired on television for a viewing public, when no visual is involved how so ever?

•Where is the visual recording of the alleged bribe?

•How come a supposed part of the same conversation portray Lawan as a talkative, belligerent and unyielding character who barely allowed Mr Otedola to utter one word, while the first part supposedly shows him as a sluggish, tentative, stammering, and measured speaker, speaking only when prompted on by the same Otedola?

•If Lawan says it was left for the Committee to know what to do to help out, why will Otedola pay bribe to influence an issue Lawan had already concluded that his committee would know what to do about?

•If Lawan did actually warn Otedola not to tell other Oil Marketers so that the impression is not given that his Committee has been compromised as the audio tend to show, does this not in fact show, assuming the story were correct, that Lawan was actually saying to Otedola, “you know we have not been compromised”?

•Why has it taken Mr Otedola this long to make public his so, called “sting operation” well over two months after Lawan had notified the Police when he interacted with them in May, 2012?

•How come that neither Mr Lawan nor Mr Emenalo was arrested or swooped upon in a so called “sting operation” where money allegedly changed hands on four different occasions?

•What is the source of this audio tape that is being played installmentally and which ought ordinarily to emanate from Security Agencies, if indeed it was a “sting operation” by the SSS?

•Who is fooling whom?

I`ve replied you.

Dis matter don die. Make we nor worry our self. Naija style is working

Ha ha ha ha I no fit laugh. Farcrook, Otedollar and NPF. Drama don start.
Nigerian Police can't have envidence again the rich nor matter how 'big' the envidence might be.
God help Nigeria

i posted this before and i am posting it again

both otedola and farouk shold be locked up.
given the information in the public domain at the moment, this is what i believe to be the sequence of events that took place :

- otedola stole some oil subsidy money from FG (this is probably not based on his unsubsidized diesel imports )
- farouk implicated otedola in their initial oil subsidy report
- either farouk demanded for bribe or otedola initiated the move to pay bribe and 3 million dollar amount was agreed on
- otedola never wanted to pay the full 3 million from outset, and set out to record their transaction/meetings
- farouk collected part payment (bills whose numbers are known), settled the necessary lawmakers and then removed otedola's name
- farouk then demanded for the balance, and otedola was playing him and maybe later told him he would not pay him
- farouk threatened to re-include otedola's name in the report
- otedola went to the SSS friend to help him deal with lawan, providing them with his recordings, and he was fast enough to make the first move by releasing the bribery info into public domain
- otedola doctored/removed some of his recordings to make himself appear innocent and goes to the court of public sympathy which is ripened with hatred for the lawmakers
- police knows that to sucessfully prosecute lawan, they have to prosecute otedola too and they do not want to do that


just ask yourself these questions

- why would otedola come out to the open one month after the removal of his name from the subsidy report
- why would otedola feel threatened by lawan to pay bribe if he is innocent since lawan's report will anyway, recommend that they be prosecuted, and he can prove his innocence in court
- if it was a sting operation jointly planned with SSS, why didn't the SSS arrest Lawan immediately he collected the money or immediately he moved the motion to absolve otedola in the house
- how on earth would you think SSS will provide a 600,000 marked dollars, and would wait one month before making any attempt to collect back the money (just to show you that the money is from otedola, and i am sure nobody)
- if it was a sting operation, the SSS and not otedola will be dealing with the police. but funny enough, the contrary is the case
- why is otedola releasing the recordings bit by bit
- whyis he not releasing the whole conversation in the the two phone calls released thus far
- what happened in the 55th second of the second recordings- some conversation was removed there

***GoodNess! Is Nigeria for Real?***
[***Searches through Google to See If Nigeria still Exist***] SMH

Fellow nigerian dnt expect anytin more than this,there(pdp,presidency,some members of reps,senators,police,sss,etc) aim is to discredit the report,which de have achieved.they kn dat,if farouk is jailed then bitter days awaits the subsidy marketers.i sincere tnk,it is high time nigerians stood up agaist lawan farouk(for messing up).because by the time he is in kirikiri,it will make d house of rep to come wit anoda committee(may b human rights) report dat can be implemented.

Northern forces @ work. Speaker of the house of THIEVES, I.G of Police and senate president intimidating Otedola. But I trust Obj, He'll not disappoint.

Olalekan 0: Do you honestly believe Otedola would rely on a "doctored _audio and video tape" to convince 170m nigerians? Pls put on your thinking cap!

The line of reasoning is logical. Otedollar is also not clean in this

THIS IS INDEED A CLUSTERFUCK OF MISLEADING EVENTS..

1. If this were a sting like Otedola has led us to believe, then I'm sorry it must have been a horribly planned sting.. Questions arising from the sting (If it was one) include;

* Do they have a video of Otedola and Farouk together planning, conspiring or exchanging cash?! If YES!! Why then is it hard for them to press charges?!

* They said he (Farouk) was paid in mark US Dollar bills.. Question is do we have a video of Farouk or the T.J from the Part 1 of his mixtape recieving the said amount?!

* Since we know that the tape could have been doctred or altered, were the SSS in the room when this sting was set-up?! Were they there when this conversations took place?!

* Was this sting set-up with the consent of the Attorney generals office so as to lend the operation some credence.. Atleast provide character witness that can testify to being there when the calls were placed..

* Why wasnt the cash escorted by a tail to the drop off point and the reciepient arrested on the spot with the cash in hand?!



If Otedola doesnt have a video tape to corroborate his evidence, then this case will sink faster than the Titanic.. No court would accept a tape recording into evidence without corroboration and testimony from credible witnesses and forensic analysts.. With the "MARKED oteDOLLARS" missing, Farouk denying he took a bribe, This is going to be a definite bust..

Farouks Lawyers only prayer would be that his client wasnt stuupid enough to get himself caught on tape in a compromising situation..

I saw this comin.

I think,it is high time that BOKO HARAM should let innocent people alone and face squarely, the criminals in uniform, called Police .If BOKO HARAM face only POLITHIEVE,98% of Nigerians will support BOKO HARAM.
Nigeria polithieves have no positive change ,unless their would be no word called "CORRUPTION" in dictionary again.
Nigerian polithieves are bastards and enemy to the masses.
If I were OTEDOLA,I will wage war against the criminals called POLICE.I will make sure that I kill almost half of them.With such money you OTEDOLA have,you can go to Italy or China and arrange mafians eliminate the so called REPS,POLICE and other criminals like you too.

Well said.

ifihearam: Useless nigerian police. Someone admitted he collected the money and you are saying there is no sufficient evidence against him? Na wa ooo.

U dey mind them? Nigeria is indeed a damned country, the reason i don't blame some pipo who call it a pit hole. SMH

ndu_chucks: My Theory:

(1)Odetola reached out to Farouk and offered to bribe him.
(2)Farouk collected the $620,000 bribe
(3)After collecting the bribe, Farouk implemented his portion of the "quo" in the "quid pro quo" by removing names of Odetola's companies from the subsidy report.
(4)Odetola tried to pull a fast one on Farouk by possibly bribing SSS officials into supporting his claim that the whole thing was a sting operation and make Farouk the sole criminal.
(5)Odetola was naive enough to think he can buy anyone including SSS member's who are more loyal to their political interests than Odetola or his money.
(6)The bribed SSS members refused to back Odetola up, and in desperation, Odetola started releasing purportedly doctored audio tapes which are inadmissible in a court of law.

Unfortunately, what we have so far, is nothing but hearsay. A second year law student should be able to successfully defend Farouk and I predict that Farouk will not serve a single day in jail. There is however, stonger evidence against Odetota and if he is not convicted for bribery, he should be convicted for claiming that this was a SSS sting operation. This saga is not good for the SSS as an institution and I predict that SSS will distance itself from Odetola's claims, publicly, soon enough.

Ho I wish GEJ's advisers can see that the President's association with Odetola does not serve GEJ and the country well, and advise that Odetola is removed from GEJ's team of economic advisers. Odetola has lost all credibility he has left. It may be time for Odetola to start planning his exile. As for Farouk, stoning awaits him in Kano. Barawo.

You are right my brother but let me add a few points to what u ve already outlined above:
1) Maybe Otedola didnt intend to setup farouk initially(d recordings was just in case) but he planned to pay farouk only $650k and not the enitre $3m
2)When farouk demanded for the balance Otedola said he wasnt paying and farouk threatened and put pressure for Otedola to bring the balance
3)Thats when Otedola played his ace blackmailed farouk and the whole thing came public.One thing is sure this whole thing is actually business-gone-sour

I can never trust a single word that comes from the nigrian police, bunch of hypocryts and liars, i bet they have been compromised, i said it before that farcrook and his cohorts will seek every means possible to claim his innocence

What type of sting operation is made known to the public when enough evidence has not been gathered? Smh.

i find flaws in your theory sir. Why should otedola suddenly turn around and re-label his offering to bribe farouk as a sting operation? Why would he go that path. I agree with your theory that otedola reached out to bribe lawan, but i disagree that it hasnt been a set-up from the onset. I say, it's been a sting operation from the very onset with just d sole aim of discrediting the subsidy report. I forsee the story ending this way- many drama and inricacies are introduced, and both parties are let go, and d subsidy report thrown to d trash bin-the exact motive from d word go!

wyt: in the begining of this saga, i asked why sss are keeping mute in this matter? now it is obvious that they were not involved as Femi made us believe, if not why can't police retrive info from sss and nail farouk? now this is what i think that really happend, there was bribry r/ship between Femi and Farouk, the job was executed as agreed upon but Femi refuse to pay up the balance, hence the uproar.

My brother I think your take on the matter is the closest to what i think might have happend

My take:

- The 'sting operation' story was all bull$h!t. We all know that with the huge amount involved and after the 'operation' ended, with all the evidence (video or audio), the money will then be retrieved immediately and farouk arrested by the same SSS.

- There was NEVER a video recording. Odetola lied and threatened farouk with the said video and succeeded in making him confessed of collecting money from him.

- Odetola is a thief
- Farouk is a thief
- SSS are liars and thieves
- Police are pathetic liars and thieves
- All NASS members are thieves
- All PDP members are thieves
- GEJ is dumb and also a thief
- Nigeria is doomed!

My friend we know how sting operation is performed. I assure you if it was a setup from the beginning, then it is either our SSS have not performed sting operation before or the entire operation was flawed.

Please answer this:
If it was a sting operation why was farouk not arrested there and then? Why would the SSS allow to go with a wooping $650,000. Does farouk have immunity that SSS were afraid of touching him even with all the evidences.

Where is the video? If there was a video would they rather release audio which farouk can easily allege that it's being doctored?

Otedola is not intelligent. Period!

1) How could he expect that an incomplete audio recording would be admissible in the law court?

2) There's no common sense in suddenly waking up to expose a purported fraud 40 days after he had allegedly offered the bribe to Lawan to kill the House oil subsidy probe.

3) The matter was even made easy for Otedola to handle because he claimed that Lawan came to his house in Abuja to collect the bribe. If actually he put the SSS in the know of how he was being allegedly pressured to offer bribe against his conscience, Lawan should have been arrested at that point.

4) In security circles and anywhere in the world, the victim is arrested on the spot when entrapping is being applied. But this was not the case in this issue and that was where I thought all these allegations against Lawan are senseless, for now.

5) Since Lawan was not arrested at the point where the bribe was offered, then, the relevance of the entrapping was lost.

6) Marked money is usually done by applying powder on the money and this can not last more than 24 hours. So, this issue is not beyond a hatched unintelligent plan to dicredit and possibly kill the susidy report. For now, Nigerians should resist this plan even though we don't trust the house of rep. members. We will deal with them later.

There may be flaws in my theory - remember its only a theory. This was not a sting operation orchestrated by SSS from the onset to catch a criminal in the act. If it had been such a sting operation with the aim of arresting criminals, the people who collected the money should have been arrested on the spot with the evidence protected and intact.

This is probably nothing but a failed conspiracy by Otedola and some paid SSS oficials to discredit the report as you stated. Otedola has no credibility left. Both Otedola, his SSS accomplices, and Farouk need to be visited by the usual suspects and made to pay.

These are times you remember the slogan POLICE IS YOUR FRIEND
