Fuel subsidy probe: House wades into alleged $600,000 bribe scandal

The House of Representatives, last week, hinted it would investigate the allegation that a member of its Adhoc Committee on Petroleum Subsidy took $600,000 bribe from some oil company officials.

“While we await investigation into those weighty allegations, we wish to state without equivocation that this honourable House will never take sides with corruption and we will always stand on the side of the rule of law”, the House said in a statement by the chairman of its committee on media and public affairs, Hon.

The allegation of the bribery blew open after former President Olusegun Obasanjo alleged that there were thieves and armed robbers in the National Assembly and state legislative houses, and the Speaker of the House Hon. Aminu Tambuwal  travelled to the former president’s Ota residence to seek audience with him over the statement.
