The Nigerian police has arrested house of representatives member Farouk Lawan. Mr. Lawan is the chairman of the ad hoc committee of the House of Representatives, who gained celebrity status overnight on account of the committee, the police had threatened to declare him wanted yesterday.
A police source in charge of investigations at the Police HQ in Abuja told SaharaReporters that the embattled rep member was in their custody but would not elaborate.
Following the fast-moving events of the past couple of days, in particular the accusations and counter-accusations between the Lawan and a shady oil business magnate Femi Otedola, the chairman of Zenon Oil from whom the chairman seems to have accepted half a million dollars in bribes, Lawan was expected to have been interrogated by the police yesterday but refused to show up.
