Farouk Lawan to Face Trial In Court


The drama in $620,000 bribery scandal hanging on the neck of embattled Mr Integrity, Farouk Lawan has finally taken shape as Olufamous.com gathered that the Special Task Force is done on its part.

Farouk has admitted collecting money from Mr. Femi Otedola but, according to him, it was to prove that the businessman mounted pressure on him to remove his company's name from the list of those indicted in the subsidy fund scam.
On his part, Otedola said Farouk his a cheap liar, insisting that he was caught in a sting operation that was supervised by security operatives following pressure on him by Lawan.

A source disclosed that the STF's report is now already for the Inspector General of Police and the Attorney General of the Federation for approval and prosecution.

From what was gathered, Farouk will be prosecuted alongside Mr. Boniface Emenalo, former Clerk of the Committee.

Although Farouk has not been able to provide the money, a source told Olufamous.com that the STF has established a strong case against Farouk and Emenalo, and prosecution will now commence.

“Therefore, they will face trial any time from now. The report will be presented to Inspector-General of Police Abubakar and Attorney-General of the Federation, Adoke (SAN) this week.

“We took time to conduct this investigation to avoid any strain in the relationship between the House and the police. We succeeded in our operation, without any cold war,” a police source said.
