Farouk Lawan In Another N11 Billion Bribe From Oil Cabal

The Chairman of the House of Representatives Ad-Hoc Committee on fuel subsidy, Hon Farouk Lawan, may be in more trouble as Police HNvesdmgawors revealR$uhat the Honourable member and some of his colleagues were suspected of soliciting and receiving bribes from Oil Marketers amounting over N11Billion.

This amount is not part of the $620,000 Hon Lawan received from My Femi Odetola. Details on this report came in as reactions pour in on the $620,000 Hon Lawan bribery scanda


The Police say that have launched a new investigation into a fresh allegation that an additional N11bn in bribes changed hands. 
Information is still sketchy but a source from the Police on Tuesday night, said a member of the committee had told police investigators that some members of the committee solicited bribes totalling N11bn from some oil marketing firms.

The source said that the member, whom he said sang like a canary, also explained how the money was shared.

While some like Sadiq Abdulhakeem defends Lawan and said:
Consider these points: 1. Zenon is a company that imports diesel and aviation fuel which are already subsidised. 2. Zenon is not under investigation by the panel 3. Why is Otedola now bribing an official to taint the report for who exactly? 4. Why even bribe for a report already submitted? 5. If giving a bribe, why give it with an intention to catch the person being bribed. The dollar bills given to Farouk were all( marked and t~aceable. The fact is, a meeting was held by oil marketers (The cabal, with political affiliates) and a decision was made to discredit the report as much as possible. Otedola was selected since he had nothing to loose from the probe to carry out a bribe on an official.

 Farouk accepted the money with an intent to expose Otedole but is now underfire by the immediate interpretation of the Nigerian plp without given considerations as to events leading to it. Now, that Farouk seems tainted, a call will be made to discredit the authenticity of the probe and sweep it under the rug. The cabal gets its way and Nigerians are fooled as usual once again. Lets not give them that pleasure and insist the findings of the report must be made public and all guilty parties must be held accountable including Otedola for bribing a government official. May God help us and protect the Nigerian people.

But further discoveries suggest Lawan Farouk's Purported letters are Fake and Claims are Lies.
Investigations by Hope For Nigeria shows that the claims by the embattled Chairman of the House of Representatives’ Ad hoc committee on fuel subsidy, Farouk Lawan’s claim that he wrote Mr. Adams Jagaba explaining the 'bribe' from Mr. Femi Otedola is not true.

The Chairman of the House Committee on Drugs/Narcotics and Financial Crimes, Mr. Adams Jagaba who have confided to his colleagues that he received no letter or evidence of Bribery from Mr Lawan. 
Members of the House Representative who spoke with Hope For Nigeria were angered on why Hon Farouk Lawan choose to soil his name in this form. They queried his rational for reporting to Hon Jagaba instead of the Police or relevant security agencies or keeping the money until the whole scandal was blown open.

House members claimed that they did not receive the bribe money against Hon Lawan's claim that he handed it over to Hon Jagaba to give to the leadership of the House.
Hon Jagaba in phone interview said that “there is no connection between my committee and the fuel probe committee and I was not given anything please thank you for calling to confirm from me.” 

A PDP House Representative member from Kano, said that support and sympathy for Hon Lawan has waned since his claim that "the he did not collect any bribe and also that his picture was doctored on the video and all turned to be lies. It is strictly his burden and he should bear it".

Yesterday, the Chairman of Zenon Petroleum, Mr Femi Otedola, handed over to the Police Investigator the audio and video evidence of how Hon Lawan mounted pressure on him and his detailing list of House leadership that will be settled with the bribe money. 

The Video showed how Hon Lawan got the first installment of the bribe and how he demanded the balance of $2,500,000.
