@ Glam and Nwanyieze…Ever heard the word STING OPERATION? You should look it up! Thank me later!!
@Mawa, sting operation indeed! Ur uncle Otedola BRIBED someone(s), he was not doing no undercover nor sting operation. He was only being corrupt. So Mawa, sting operation is just inappropriate in this context.
Talk about someone with a one track mind…..i FEEL YOU…
i beg shift for road, so this people want us t believe they will truly carry out justice when they just let a man who stole billions walk and only repaid 750K naira. SMH!! I dont know what to believe any more when it comes to nigeria, its a circus that is just fool of clowns at the head.
What breaks my heart is what their families go tru the embarasment.
PDP! PDP!! PDP!!! @????????.
Farouk is a Crook !!!!
