Otedola Forced Me To Take $3M From Him - Farouk Lawan Insist...Otedola Denies
Mr. Femi Otedola the founder of Zenoil, yesterday appeared before a Federal Capital Territory FCT to testify against Mr. Farouk Lawan, a former member of the house.
Mr. Farouk was chairman of a subcommittee investigating a multi-billion-dollar fraud associated with government fuel subsidy during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Lawan had testified that the witness forced him to take the money, which Otedola denied.
Otedola had testified that after an initial deposit of $500,000 was paid into his account, Lawan declared Zenon Oil and Gas free of the initial indictment.
A video of Mr. Lawan receiving the money was played in court without any objection from the defence counsel. The matter was later adjourned at the instance of the defence counsel for cross examination.
