Erstwhile chairman of the fuel subsidy probe
panel of the House of Representatives who had been on an elongated visit
to Saudi Arabia for Umrah, on Monday reported to the Police
headquarters in Abuja to announce his return to the country and
readiness to face the charges that would be preferred against him when
the case comes up in court.
Farouk Lawan who was accused of collecting $620,000 as bribe from oil
magnate, Mr. Femi Otedola was granted permission to travel for his
religious obligation and given a specific time frame to return to the
country.
Recall that Police authorities investigating bribery allegations
against Lawan have since (four weeks ago) completed their investigations
and sent the report of the investigation which sources said
overwhelmingly indicted Lawan, to the office of the Attorney General of
the Federation for legal advice. The AGF’s office is, however, yet to
take action on the report.
