Fresh facts emerged at the weekend as to why the suspended chairman, House of Representatives Ad hoc Committee on the Monitoring of Fuel Subsidy, Hon. Farouk Lawan, and the clerk of the committee, Mr. Boniface Emenalo, were not arrested on the spot after they took $620,000 as bribe from the Chairman, Zenon Oil and Gas, Mr. Femi Otedola, to doctor the report of the committee.

Sources told THISDAY that security agents had initially planned to arrest them when they went to Otedola's residence to collect the money, but the agents changed their mind when they realised that arresting Lawan a few hours to the consideration of the report by the entire House could backfire.
