Farouk Lawan, the embattled member of the House of Representatives who is currently being investigated over allegations of a $620,000 bribe was yesterday prevented from leaving the country.
Reports say that he was booked an Emirates flight to Saudi Arabia for the lesser Hajj, however, SSS officials at the Muritala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, barred him from leaving the country.
He was prevented from travelling for fear that he might flee the country to prevent being investigated or tried for the bribery allegation.
Lawan, the suspended Chairman of the House of Representatives Ad Hoc Committee on the Monitoring of the Fuel Subsidy regime, is currently being investigated for collecting $620,000 from Femi Otedola, the Chairman, Zenon Petroleum and Gas Limited, to alter the House ad hoc committee’s report on the fuel subsidy regime.
