$10,000 cash found in Farouk Lawan’s home

The police yesterday began a hunt for the $600,000 cash allegedly collected as bribe from oil marketer, Mr Femi Otedola by the embattled former chairman of the House of Representatives  had hoc committee on fuel subsidy payments, Farouk Lawan even as hope dimmed for his release from detention.

Saturday Sun gathered that the decision to keep Lawan in custody followed his refusal to disclose to his team of police interrogators led by CP Amodu Alli where the alleged bribe money is kept. His failure to disclose the whereabouts of the money was also said to have informed the decision to seach his Apo legislative quarters residence by police detectives for about two hours yesterday.

Sources told Saturday Sun that the raid on Lawan’s house located on Ogbonnaya Onu Close,  Apo Legislators’ Quarters, Abuja, led to the seizure of his diplomatic passport and $10,000 found in the house.
