Just
when you think the Federal Government will allow every corrupt officer go scot
free, they have taken one right step to charge Farouk Lawan over the
infamous bribe he took from Zenon boss, Femi Otedola. The bribe was meant to
ensure Zenon oil was removed from the list of companies that were inverstigated
for subsidy fraud.
The arraignment of Lawan alongside
the secretary of the adhoc committee, Mr. Boniface Emenalo accused of demanding for $3,000,000 will commence
today, February 1st, 2012. They will be tried for “Violation of the
Corrupt Practices and Other-Related Offences Act, 2000.”
This is the right step in the right
direction but the outcome will determine if indeed our Government is interested
in fighting corruption.
