| Emenalo and Farouk,to spend one week at Kuje prison |
Member of the House of Representatives, Farouk Lawan and Boniface Emenalo were on Friday remanded in prison custody following his arraignment by the
Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission at a
Federal Capital Territory High Court on seven counts of criminal dealing.
The lawmakers, among other things, were accused of demanding and collecting bribe in the aggregate sum of $3million from the
Chairman of Zenon Petroleum and Gas Ltd, Femi Otedola, to ensure that Zenon Petroleum and Gas Ltd escaped prosecution even
though the committee had ab-initio found it culpable in the fuel
subsidy fraud.
They will remain in Kuje prisons pending the determination of their bail application on February 8. Good. I hope this will serve as a warning to politicians that no one is above the law; or are they?
A week is nothing and from a Nigerian point of view, this is no way to warn people. I await a considerable jail term which should serve as a warning. Great post RaquelDaily!- DeYega
