Subsidy bribe money retrieved from Owambe party

Abuja – The brouhaha generated from bribery allegations against Farouk Lawan and one Boniface has refused to die down.

The latest development in the case of secret filming and bribe baiting is the inability of anyone to produce the $65,000 marked bills forced upon Farouk and Boniface.

Farouk had earlier sworn on his honour as a member of the Nigerian House of Representatives, that upon collecting the alleged bride, he handed same to a certain member of the house as evidence of oil baron Otedola’s attempt to make him do something he had sworn never to do, namely, take a bribe.

While the lawmaker meant to be in possession of the dollars has written to house leadership denying any knowledge of the money, investigations by this paper has exposed a desperate plot to cover-up the fate of the missing dollars.

Our reporter was authoritatively told by an investigator close to the case that most of the marked dollars have been secretly retrieved.

According to him, the instant the whereabouts of the marked bills became uncertain, the secret police planted undercover agents at every bureau de change in the country.

Very soon, he claims, the marked bills began to come in and when questioned, the people who had come to change them explained that they were ‘sprayed’ the money at various ‘Owambe’ parties in the capital.

Pressure is however being put upon investigators not to reveal this fact. This, according to our source, is because ‘sparying’ has been banned inNigeria and the people who threw the Owambe parties do not want it to come out that they have been secretly indulging in illegal spraying of money.
