Farouk Lawan Faces Trial Today

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other-Related Offences Commission will today arraign Hon. Farouk Lawan, over a seven-count  charge bearing on corrupt enrichment.

You would recall that the charge stems from allegations by the chairman of Zenon Oil, Chief Femi Otedola, that Lawan demanded  and received  $620,000 as a bribe from him while he (Lawan) was the chairman of  the House AdHoc Committee on Monitoring of Fuel Subsidy Regime. Lawan will be arraigned alongside the secretary of the adhoc committee, Mr. Boniface Emenalo.
