ndu_chucks: I'm afraid that without the physical evidence, the cash, Farouk cannot be convicted of anything. If I were Farouk, I will sit on the money until the sky turns blue. All the mofos are rougues, from the police, sss, efcc, nass, judges, to the executive wing of government.

Its time for the masses or some other force to chase these people out of Abuja.

The court doesn't need to see the physical cash to convict Lawan. The Police are just not up to it. Simple.

You are dead right kobo. It is not emough to catch a thief. Prove that he stole is a difficult task. I knew our so called James Bond Policemen will bottle this matter and some on here were just going about shouting "sting" "stung" "Stang" "steng" "stung". Let the story continue abeg.

The Police doesn't need to see the alleged bribe money to file charges against Farouk. The underground politics has started in earnest.

…Submits Interim Report to IGP
•Lawan to remain with Police until
the $620,000 is returned
Detectives from the Special Task
Force, STF, investigating the $3illion
bribe scandal against former House
of Representatives Subsidy Probe
panel Chairman, Lawan Farouk
yesterday conducted a one-hour
search at his Apo residence.
Also, searched was the house of the
Secretary of the Committee, Hon.
Boniface Emenalo, who was alleged
to have collected $120,000 as part of
the bribe money.
Both principal officers were Thursday
detained in the cells of the Police
Force Criminal Investigations
Department, FCID, located in Garki,
Area 10 Abuja until at exactly 1.25
pm yesterday, when Saturday
Vanguard saw Hon. Lawan
disembarking from a Black Murano
Jeep inside Force Headquarters,
accompanied by a white Police Hilux
Jeep.
Lawan who was putting on a white
caftan was alleged to be returning
with the detectives who had gone to
search his residence in Apo
Legislative Quarters at about 12
noon.
However, when Saturday Vanguard
sought to know if Lawan would be
granted bail yesterday, a source
within the Special Task Force hinted
that investigation was still on going
adding, “I cannot say whether or not
he would be granted bail as we are
still chatting with him. So it will be
premature to say whether we can
release him on bail for now”.
The source said that the scope of
investigation has been expanded as
a result of new discoveries about
other bribes, adding, “We are now
talking about huge sums of money
given to the probe committee and
some of the oil marketers that were
extorted have gone to the court to
depose to affidavits to reveal
everything”.
It was learnt that Farouk told the
police that when he discovered that
the whole plot was a set up, he
collected the money and handed it
over to the Chairman, House
Committee on Financial Crimes and
assured the STF that he would return
the money intact to the police, but
the CP, Ali Amodu- led STF is not
buying the argument even as the
House Committee Chairman on
Financial Crimes would be invited to
come with the marked money
allegedly given to Farouk, to buttress
his statement.
Meanwhile, Saturday Vanguard
gathered late yesterday that an
interim report on the bribery scandal
has been submitted to the Inspector
General of Police, IGP, Mohammed
Abubakar while investigation
continued.
Police sources however, disclosed
that Farouk may not be released until
he produces the $620,000 to the
police. As at press time yesterday,
Farouk was still being grilled by
detectives of the STF.
About $10,000 was found in his
residenceWhen contacted on
whether Farouk will be granted bail
‘yesterday’, the Deputy Force Public
Relations Officer, CSP Frank Mbah,
said that it was premature to talk
about bail now as detectives still
have a large scope of areas to cover

Billyonaire: I feel ashamed. Very shameful. Are these legislatures ? Farouk is greeted and handshakes ?

Honour amongst thieves.

omosexy1: If the members of the house voted to take them companies out. Why are they now considering to put them in? It is a shame, I was thinking they should consider revisiting the whole situation again and do a proper investigation.

Better. Let Otedola now come and defend his company without the issue of bribe. Smart move I say. Politics in play now.

Sky Blue: You are making it too eamsy for them and I keep saying we should stop doing this. We should stop saying things like "The house is corrupt", we really really should!
Such approaches takes away individual account ability of the people that make up that group. Shame names, shame individuals. When you shame the house who is really shamed? Its lets them off too easily. Who are the individuals that are being caught?

Name names

You don't know our politicians. That is all I have to say.

Sky Blue: All I am hearing is big grammar. GET INFORMATION FROM LAWAN AND THROW HIM UNDER THE BUS! The guy talking right now is irritating and I bet part of the rubbish. THAT REPORT IS RUBBISH, STOP QUOTING IT!!!!!! A NEW INVESTIGATION MUST BE DONE. GOSH THESE GUYS ARE ANNOYING

What we have going on is 360 thieves less one and nothing good will come out of this session. Mark it.

omorooney: Hope they won't compromise

The won't. FL is like a leper now that nobody wants to associate with.

initiate: whatsite can it be watched

Its on Nta live now. You may try Channelstv online

The house of reps is currently having a special session. On the bribery scandal.

Oyb whipped you silly on that thread sha. Kpele.

So @Beaf opened another thread on the same subject matter, got whipped by @Oyb and ran to this one. @Oyb I hail. Apparently Beaf could not withstand you.

Billyonaire: The video will soon come to Youtube, let the security operatives do their jobs first. Contrary to view, Otedola, didnt beg to bribe, it was your honourables that contacted him to receive bribe and cover him up, he then informed the SSS and they decided to videotape the session.

I am not saying Otedola offered the "bribe". My concern is why he had to personally get involved in the "exchange" of cash. I am just looking at the damage to his reputation that's all. You know there is a saying that there should be honour amongst thieves. Hope we have credible evidence at the end.

Billyonaire: AMEN, But lets start with who we have caught on video tape, abi no be so ?

This allegation better be true or the consequences for GEJ will be dire. So a man of Otedola's stature will be used for a sting operation? Is Otedola that stupid knowing he still has more business relationship to savour with various interests. Why did he have to do it personally? I hope this is not another "na we do am, come pay us our balance"

He is going to give him one year contract and sack him six months into it.

sosoluv: why do men expect women to dedicate to them what they are not ready to give back in return?

@OP, dont know the answer but do women cheat and like being cheated on?

Sisi_Kill: Where are the men naa. . .or is it only women who have the perfect spouse?

Men are honest to a fault. Leave us out of this circus show.

Revolva: hahaha naija
