muami: SSS allowed him to roast in his own stew. In my view, the SSS did perfectly well in this case.

Demdem: i wonder what the govt is still waiting for by not charging farook to court till date? is it that they know more than what Festus knows or what?

besides am not convinced that Otedola involved the SSS before the video capturing, my guts tells me he got them involved after the incidence.

If its truly a purely SSS operation, why should otedollar has a copy of all the recording? is this the normal standard practice? why wasnt farook arrested immediately? (if this was done, we wont be going through all of these wahala now). i disagree with festus, SSS did a terrible job in this case and that explains my reservation. its unlike them.

Rep. Frank Thompson (D-N.J.) was taped at the FBI house saying that he would help the sheik. Criden later picked up a bag with $50,000 in cash inside, which he said was for Thompson. [8]
Rep. Raymond Lederer (D-Pa.) was filmed taking $50,000 from the sheik. [9]
Rep. Michael Myers (D-Pa.) was filmed taking $50,000 from the sheik. [10]
Rep. John Murphy (D-N.Y.), who was already under investigation by the House Ethics Committee, argued with Criden over who would pick up his money and Criden eventually picked up a suitcase full of cash at a Kennedy Airport hotel. [11]
Rep. John W. Jenrette (D-S.C.) was apparently informed of the sheik by Virginia businessman John Snowe. Snowe was filmed taking $50,000, which Jenrette was later taped receiving. Jenrette later protested that his memory was hazy due to drinking and couldn't recall taking any money. [12]
Rep. Richard Kelly (R-Fla.) was filmed stuffing wads of bills into his suit and asking the sheik's men if it showed. Kelly later tried to explain that he had taken the money only as part his own investigation of the "crooked" dealings at the house. [13]
Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) was also filmed at the house but did not pick up any money (see below). [14]

VEGA: Am I missing something?
SSS sting details released by Otedola? We need to have official confirmation from SSS that indeed this was their Sting operation. Why was there no SSS man witnessing the money transfer at Otedola's house by pretending to be a tea boy or cleaner as part of the sting? Now the money appears to have vanished!
Please we need to hear SSS version or confirmation. Recall that Farouk tried to claim his own sting but when the chips were down his friend denied him.
We may still have some twists and turns in this saga.
To me Nigeria will be the better off for it.

Toktee: Imagine a lawyer talking,he is even comending the effort of otedola and the sss,the lawyer went ahead to use america nd other european countries,that do resign their position in a case like this,my problem with the whole analysis is,if mr otedola is innocent,why must he perticipate in the whole saga instead of waiting for the house to complete the investigation,who call who first, and why must lawan invite security agencies,who among them can be trusted,otedola invited the sss to do what,what prevented them frm arresting lawan immediately he take posession of the exhibit,can u tell me how otedola is innocent in all these with good reasons? And the question of resignation,hw many corrupt govt official nd politician resign their position in nigeria,i therefore conclude that mr otedola do nt gve kobo to mr lawan,if he give where is the money,on the side of sss they fail in there duties as they were been commanded by mr otedola,what a shame,the giver nd the taker,are both guilty of the offence period...no ranting

Toktee: Moderator,where is my post,because i debunk all the unnecessary analysis of or mr kayemo and ask the sss and otedola that if actually the cash was given to lawan,the sss failed in their duty,nd both the gver nd the taker are guilty of the same offence,you remove my post,why?

Oh No! Are u this daft or u have a problem with reading and comprehending?

Shut your dirty mouth!
That guy has made some sense in his post.

Why was the money not retrieved and Farouk arrested there and then?
Was the sting operation conducted by Otedola or SSS?
Why did they allow farouk to go with the money?

Where is the video?

Farouk is a thief and so is Otedola. Their evil dealings just got messy hence all this drama.

Keyamo is biased in his analysis. How did he know that No.3 actually happened? Was Keyamo at the scene of No.3?

Demdem:

very bias statement from this government contractor called keyamo. Even the child in the womb knows that the SSS did a terrible job if truly they were in the picture at the beginning

ndu_chucks: Festus Keyamo has made millions and millions of naira as a lawyer for EFCC and we all know that EFCC operates at the pleasure of the government du jeur. Word on the streets in Abuja is that this same Keyamo is involved in several shady deals and corrupt activities involving Farida, but thats a story for another thread.

Apparently, Keyamo has become a mouth piece of PDP's. Hear him defend Otedola like a unprincipled lawyer who takes up a case involving the likes of Jefrey Dahmer.

Even a 5year old knows that, if indeed, then Otedola-Farouk saga was an SSS operation, it failed woefully by all standards.

CHIDI EJIOGU: You see the problem is not only GEJ but the whole system,the mentality of our people particularly those holding public office are twisted.Baba sege said something ealier this year and they wanted to crucify him,he said all the members of the national assembly are criminals.Is those episode not proving the old solja correct?

IgweAni:

Ode! Ur post was never hidden, it there advertising ur dumbness.
As someone rightly pointed out, it is an ancestral conspiracy against u.

An advice, head straight to the nearest MFM for laying of hands and legs.

The last time i checked, Facrook son of Lawan is still a PDP legiislootor. Adamu!

LOL very laughable... the same Baba aka OBJ that used Ghana must go Bags to try and win 3rd term... if we are going to have credible people talking please lets have those who can stand tall on a moral high ground.

The same baba that had Bodunde and Andy Uba moving bribe money all over under his nose and watch... No... its very laughable very very

Those in glass houses should not throw stones... They are all the same forn Baba to Mama

I wouldn't have responded to your post. But some times we are told to speak to the fool soo he doesn't think he's wise in his own eyes.

The quicker the SSS arrest him the less evidence they would have, the longer, the more evidence. Abi, are you seeing this whole thing from the reverse side. If the whole thing had been the other way round, i would still say it as it were.

Farook collected the moneywith no intention of reporting it. HE COLLECTED BRIBE.

What case would Otedola have againt Farook if the SSS had arrested the latter on the trading spot prior to his final suggestion at the House that Otedola's company name be erased from the indicted list?

A lot, even if am to go by this line of argument of urs while did it take them weeks even after the removal before words came out to the press not even an arrest. The guy has no immunity and his arrest wont spark any killings whatsoever. abegii, that wont fly


IMO, whether the SSS was informed by Otedola before the 'sting' operation or not is not my concern as long as Otedola has enough evidence/fact [/b]to portray his 'innocence' in this case.

[b]It does matter my friend and its obvious to me from ur comment here that u are not even sure if it was an Otedola's string operation or SSS. otedola might have been a willing bribe giver and latter decides to jump ship as soon as Farook does his own part of the bargain. that to me is a possibility and i think knowing whose string operation we are dealing with is important.

Jenams: Ђδω on earth will a single man represent a full federal constituency for †ЂΞ past 12year? Are they so daft I̶̲̥̅̊n ∂α† part? Dis is anoda issue ∂α† makes farouk even more guilty of corruption! Jesus!

logica: For "those" saying the SSS sting failed because Farouk was not arrested after he collect the money, please refer to the Abscam sting operation conducted by the FBI in the '80s:

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Abscam_bribery_scandal



Now tell me why the senators were not immediately arrested as soon as they collected the bribes? There is a precedent to how bribery sting operations are run (which are distinctly different from drug sting operations in which the suspect is immediately arrested for obvious reasons). If you are not familiar with these things, it's best to shut the fvck up.

Redstone:



If sss actually had a video of him the first time he collected the bribe money, that is enough evidence to take him in. Now where is the bribe money?

IgweAni:

Did u bother reading that article?

If Facrook son of Lawan was arrested @ that spot, dnt common sense tell u that he will claim to have gone to collect the money in other to present it live @ the floor of the house the next day, since he is claiming he wants to expose Otedola?

Instead of exposing Otedola, he went to the house to cause a stir by clearing the name of Zenon oil, o assume that is how they expose people in ur village abi? I knw ur IQ wont get these but i wish u well in ur FOOLS PARADISE!
