Farouk Lawan and Boniface Emenalo were released on bail yesterday with stringent conditions. Lawan signed an undertaking to surrender the $620,000 bribe he allegedly collected from Otedola to the police on Tuesday.

Lawan was left off the hook around 6 pm after his lawyers, led by Ricky Tarfa, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), met the bail conditions, which included two sureties each for the two detained men who must be well known Nigerians without any criminal record, persons of impeccable character, and owners of landed property in Abuja who must surrender the Certificates of Occupancy of their land in the Federal Capital Territory.

It was learnt that Lawan had claimed that the bribe money was with the ethics committee of the House, which will present it to the House on Tuesday.
