thegoodjoehunt:
I have stressed the fact that there is a reason why the arrest was not made. FARCROOK is not the only target. If you think this is just about FARCROOK then you are mistaking. Ask yourself this question.

If FARCROOK was arrested on the spot, will any other person involved be discovered? If no, then the way is to mark the money and try to trace the money trail. Just like when a Kidnap is done in most developed countries, you let the marked ransom be paid. Later when you trace even a note to someone, you can back trail the movement of the money.

You guys please stop saying all this FARCROOK should have been arrested on the spot. That would have been too stupid.

jigawatts: Well, as a smart Nigerian, I think Otedollar decided to hold copies of d recordings to himself so dat SSS won't try any rubbish at late hour.... U know SSS can decide not to make d recordings public, BUT by keeping copies, It will be hard for SSS to turn d table around to protect Farouk Lawan ...... If dats d case, then once again ..... Otedollar outsmarted dem all ..... I mite be wrong tho

donigspain: @Demdem, Yes, my line of argument conotes that am still uncertain if Otedola invited/contacted the SSS before the sting operation since the SSS is yet to make a public stance on Otedola's claims.

Thank you for accepting this fact. To u its not important but in the law court it could be the only thing that will render the whole case upside down. if the court finds out that otedola contacted SSS after the whole saga, new lines or argument will come to play. How i wish and hope he did contacted them at the beginning

Despite the afore, one thing we can't take away from Otedola is the fact that he is wise (cunning, crafty) enough to have evidence(s) to his favour. What difference does it make whether it's a joint sting operation between Otedola and the SSS or a solo sting operation of Otedola? The fact is that Otedola has got evidence(s) while Farouk has none!
Evidence surpasses all things in the court of law.

Well very easy to say to us non-learned like the lawyers always say. Let me paint a possible scenario:

Assuming we have a willing bribe giver in Otedola who promises to give farook an amount of money with promise of taking his companies names out.farook agreed and collected part payment not knowing that otedola has a video nearby doing the neccessary havoc. of cos farook did his own part of the bargain and otedollar felt well he isnt ready to part with the rest. he agreed to punish farook for even asking him money. he utilizes the security apparatus at his disposal (remember, SSS are daily guards for Otedollar) and gave them those recordings. farook is guilty no doubt but does this suggest that Otedollar is innocent? I doubt this. I agree he is a cunning and crafty man but sounds like a criminal to me also.

logica: And who says your president is not one of those powers? You think when we talk about "powers that be" the president is excluded? Dude!

IgweAni: [s]The one u made when u were already schooled, right?[/s]

Stuppid and inconsequential

U started making sense after u diverted ur view. Thank God u are learning, congrats @ least u r not fully lost as the other guy.


If u can kindly show the whole world now where my inconsistencies are i will admit hat u are smart but now, u are daft.

logica: It is the latter you should've been talking about not the former. As you said the SSS can also prosecute as they have the powers of the Police, but then the latter comes into play - willingness. I believe they are being held back by the "powers that be" who want this case to be quietly resolved as a PDP family affair (with 2 PDP "sons" quarreling).

IgweAni: Brother ask him o. I was even thinking he was using his brain.

logica: Who doesn't know we don't have a Police Force? If you are going to use the views of the Nigerian Police then I cannot take you seriously. It is clear that in saner climes, the Police would request for the evidence from who ever has possession and then take it from there.

Normally I should be able to record a crime and present the evidence to the Police to act (as a concerned citizen even without the aid of any law enforcement authorities). For instance look at the case against R Kelly whose purported video was found online. Even though he was eventually cleared, he was prosecuted on the strength of the evidence. But will this work in Nigeria? Get real please.

Wereh kpe: I love this guy called Keyamo!

I also support what he said on Channels Last night's news

He said but not in this exact words: If we occupy the streets like we did during the fuel subsidy removal, Farouk will have no option but to resign!

Seriously, the corrupt house is supporting the criminal cus de too have collected the bribe! IF WE DONT OCCUPY, den WE DONT DESERVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE STATE OF OUR COUNTRY! After all, you dont sleep and win wars but rather you fight to win wars

ideylaff: Keyamo is meant to be a lawyer and he's already passing judgement on a case that is yet to go to court

All Farouk will do to get off the hook is claim prejudice.. simple....

All of them are the same.. Distraction agents... everybody don 4get 3 trillion abi na 2 trillion wey we dey find in the 1st place

Only yesterday the same set of accussed marketers were awarded bigger contracts again, Same old story... yeye dey smell big time

logica: No it doesn't. Audio and video conclusively prove the act. The marked bills might only be useful in the money trail to pin-point all those involved. But I believe the money is long gone (probably through various Bureau de Change offices).

donigspain: 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.

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.

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.

oluseg2: On why it is taking the police too long to conclude investigation, Mba stressed that with the evidence so far obtained, it would amount to a waste of time and public resources to rush to court.

He said, “You just don’t rush to court for the fun of charging people to court.

kodewrita: Considering the fact that Sanusi wasnt there in 2002, why put his picture here?

the logo of the CBN would have been more appropriate.

besides the title is wrong. This would have been more appropriate "NNPC Secret Account Solely Operated By CBN, says NNPC"

Beaf: [size=14pt]CBN operates secret account, says NNPC[/size]

Though Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala told the committee that she is aware of the account, she denied knowledge of its details, including the number.

Kobojunkie: Nigerian Journalists are good at making up the most stupid. Why in the world would the President SUE the National Assembly over a summons that pertains to National Security? This is the same President who went on national TV on June 24th to reveal that he has not seen the summons and would welcome it. Now, less than 2 weeks, he is suing? If anyone should be sued, I think the DailyPost needs to be for this.

Beaf: The only good reason to negotiate with boko haram is to gather them together and kill the bastards.
