Why we collected bribe from billionaire businessman – Emenalo

Emenalo said the plan was to collect the money and report Otedola.

Testifying before Justice Angela Otakula of the High Court in Lugbe, Abuja, Emenalo said “The money I collected from Mr. Otedola was meant to be an exhibit to prove that members of the ad hoc committee were being pressurised and I informed my Chiarman (Lawan) and handed over the money to him (my chairman).”

“I maintain my stand that the money collected from Otedola was to show that it was to bribe members of the committee,” he added.

Emenalo’s accomplice, Lawan is also accused of demanding and receiving a bribe from Otedola, so as to remove the name of his company, Zenon Petroleum and Gas Limited, from the list of companies indicted in the fuel subsidy scam.
