Reps Claim Otedola Has No Video-clip On $620,000 Bribe by mukina2: 3:40pm On Jul 09, 2012
Details of what transpired at the hearing of Ethics and Privileges Committee of the House of Representatives probing the Farouk Lawan and Femi Otedola $620,000 bribery saga emerged at the weekend as a member, Ibrahim Bello, spoke on the incident.

Bello claimed that contrary to media reports, Otedola told the panel that he had no knowledge of the video evidence in circulation when he appeared before the committee last week.

Bello, who represents Igabi Federal Constituency of Kaduna State, told journalists in Abuja that despite Otedola’s refusal to respond to questions on allegations of bribery against Lawan, disowned any video of his alleged exchange of money and discussion with Lawan, the suspended chairman of the House Ad-hoc Committee on Fuel Subsidy Management.

Bello said: “He (Otedola) said that he did not give anybody any video of him giving Lawan bribe. He denied that. All he said was that he did not give anybody any video.”

He, however, insisted that the committee was on the right track in insisting that the hearing with Otedola be held in camera.

According to him, “we had this interactive session with Otedola last week and we insisted that he cannot decide how we do our job.

“When we asked him about the video-clip, Otedola told us to summon the media houses and ask them how they got it. He categorically denied the video-clip and said he never discussed anything with anybody. He is in our own record.

“ All Otedola said at the meeting was that Farouk Lawan lied four times and that’s all. What I am saying is on record and we have it. Nobody can come and bend our rules. We don’t have any business with Otedola. I asked Otedola before the chairman of the panel, who told him not to talk with us nor answer our questions? Apparently unknown to him, he was only a witness before us and we told him categorically that we have about 10 lawyers in the Ethics and Privileges Committee.

The sane and brilliant Nigerians already know this was a script to discredit the oil scam report and also to kill the "interest" of Nigerians in the report.

Nigerians, pls do not forget to pull your head out of the sands o when no one is watching..

It is now obvious that our leaders are trying hard to distract attension of the masses away from the original subsidy probe.
Very soon we won't hear of otedola and farouk's case any more.
I don suffer....

Its obvious that its a sting operation trying to rubbish the subsidy report using farouk as a scape goat. They don settle the matter behind close door now wanna wash farouk a*s*s in the public. Eediot set of legislooters.

I never thought a day would come when I would agree with you..

* Anyways.. I have always wonders what Otedolas video evidence would contain as it would have been very stupid of Farouk to meet Otedola in person at any point during that investigation/hearing..

* Its becoming apparent that the audio tapes were not a sting but just a one sided recording done by Otedole for 'Heaven knows what reason'..

* Without a doubt, Farouk is VERY VERY guilty and has suffered the most injuries in this epic fight.. No amount of hearing would change the fact that Farouk is a dirty dirty senator who took bribe and lied about it severally only to change his story at a later time.

* If indeed its found to be that Otedola does not have any corroborating video evidence, then this case is as good as dead and the ultimate winner would be Farouk because the law would come down heavily of Otedola..

Like my Ekiti State friend said, the new scores are; Farouk 1. vs Otedola 1.

DEAR NIGERIANS,
THESE REPRESANTATIVES ARE REPRESENTING SOME PEOPLE IN SOME INDIVIDUAL CONSTITUENCIES, I THINK ITS TIME TO INVITE THESE PEOPLE BACK HOME AND CALL THEM BACK TO ORDER. WHAT IS WRONG WITH NIGERIANS, ONCE THEY CLIMB UP THERE THEY FORGET WHERE THEY ARE COMING FROM AND WHAT THEIR MANDATES ARE. WE SENT THESE PEOPLE TO GO AND REPRESENT US BECAUSE EVERY BODY CANNOT BE THERE AT THE SAME TIME. SO WHY ARE THEY RIDING EVERYBODY AS IF WE AL ARE SOME SORT OF BUNCH OF FOOLS. PLS LETS GET THESE PEOPLE BACK ON TRACK.

ENOUGH OF THESE JOKES

Don't know how you guys came to the conclusion that Otedola does not have any video on the bribe. All he said was that he did not leak the video or info on the video to anybody. He didn't disaffirm the existence of the video.

Where then is the sting operation? I queried why it would be Otedola that would release an SSS sting tape. The head of SSS needs to inform Nigerians if they arranged any sting with Otedola.
I do not doubt for a moment that a tape exists whether Otedola admits it or not. This is because all them rich guys monitor their homes 24/7 on tape. This is not difficult. I suggest too that there is no marked dollars as in extra security markings, serially numbered may be but this is expected if they were mint from the bank. Please give the serial numbers and CBN would fill in the blanks.
The script is obviously not playing out well for both the House, Otedola and Lawan. I believe that if Nigerians yell loud enough like we did in the BA passenger issue, all these crooks will ask for out of court settlement with Nigerians and we go for all or nothing. Theories abound but the key actors who have the answers have not been compelled to save us from furthr theorising. NL as a more reliable free press should mobilise members, visitors, friends and Nigerians to demand answers so that the fuel subsidy probe report may not die!!!

When this started last month, I said "Make we see the video". Today again, make we see the video already so we can move on to more important issues. Otedola, stop helping put progress on hold . . release the video make we all see am and make the Security people do their job, so we can all get back to the important issue, prosecuting all the fuel subsidy thieves.

There is something wrong about this statement. No media house have gotten any Video Clip. I think the question was about how the audio clip was gotten Or maybe the Honorable is just high.
That is why I always wanted a public hearing but these CROOKS won't agree so that they can bail their necks.
Re: Reps Claim Otedola Has No Video-clip On $620,000 Bribe by jmaine: 7:39pm On Jul 09, 2012
@ OP, Video tape or Audio tape undecided, cos the media was awash with the audio and not video . . .And also, saying he never released it to the media house is not the same as "I don't have such in my possession" . . . .
