$3m bribe: House makes U-turn, to give Otedola open hearing

The House of Representatives Committee on Ethics investigating the $3 million cash for clearance scam involving Rep. Farouk Lawan and business mogul, Mr Femi Otedola, has been directed to reverse the decision to hold its hearings in secret.
The directive from the House leadership, weekend, came as it emerged that the Ethics Committee is to invite the Director General of the State Security Service, SSS, to shed light on the scam.

The decision of the ethics committee to hold its sittings in camera came as a major reversal to the transparency and accountability profile that the Speaker Aminu Tambuwal-led leadership had itself sought to portray in its actions.
