Inside details of the sting operation that caught Farouk LawanMr Lawan, a diminutive former lecturer, is one of the few members of the House who have returned a record four times successively. Farouk Lawal should have opted for a plea deal that will get him a lower sentence. Did he think he could win that case and then turn around to sue Otedola for defamation of character? The big guy will apply every resources at his disposal to avoid that. So long Farouk! No need for 'alleged' again. He has been convicted already. Another little finger that was prattling all over the place that year. Hope the 7 yrs will be real 7 yrs.
