    A Kano State Federal lawmaker, Farouk Lawan, and former member of the House of Representatives, who was sentenced to five years imprisonment for demanding and accepting a $500,000 bribe has regained his freedom.

    It’s worth noting that Lawan’s conviction was upheld by the Supreme Court on January 26, 2024.

    He was found guilty of soliciting a $3 million bribe from Femi Otedola, a Nigerian billionaire oil tycoon while serving as chairman of the House of Representatives ad-hoc committee investigating fuel subsidy fraud in 2012
