THE Special Anti-Fraud Unit commissioned by the Inspector General of Police to investigate the $3 million bribery scandal rocking the House of Representatives ad hoc committee on the oil subsidy probe has written formally to MTN to provide it with the call log between Honourable Farouk Lawan and business mogul, Femi Otedola, wherein Lawan allegedly demanded for $3 million before the sum of $620,000 was given to him as part payment.

The Nigerian Tribune gathered authoritatively that the call log which the task force is expecting this week will enable it to analyse the content of the calls on which the demand for the money was made by Lawan.

Meanwhile, Lawan is expected to return the $620,000 collected by him and the secretary to the fuel subsidy regime probe panel, Boniface Emenalo, to the police today.

This was the condition under which he was released on bail on Saturday evening. The special task force chairman Commissioner of Police Ali Amodu granted him bail on the promise that the money will be returned today.

According to him, "we are law enforcement agents, we are not law breakers and we must abide by the law and since we have detained him for 48hrs....its natural we grant him bail".

The lawmaker was detained after he reported to the police on June 14, in response to allegation of receiving the said amount as bribe from Mr Otedola.

Otedola had claimed that Lawan demanded for the money to remove the names of his companies on the list of those indicted by the Ad-hoc Committee on Fuel Subsidy Regime set up by the House of Representatives.

The house had on Friday suspended the lawmaker, who had chaired the committee, to allow for proper investigation on the alleged bribery scam.
