The Ethics Committee of the Federal House of Representatives as reported earlier
Cleared Hon. Farouk Lawan of the bribery allegation.
This development clear the air about public speculation that Hon Farouk properly shared the bribe money with his colleagues.

Lawan Farouk accepted in public that he received the bribe of $620,000 and there is no dispute about this fact.
The question is, have Hon Lawan Farouk returned the said money back to the Police as demanded.
We are still expecting the National Assembly, especially the Federal House of Representative to explain to Nigerians the basis they used to clear Farouk of the bribery allegation, an offence he NEVER denied.
The House of Representative have shown their real colour in the fight against Corruption.
The Legislatures have not find it necessary to make corruption in Nigeria a history and unattractive by introducing laws with stiffer penalties, like life imprisonment or death sentence.
It is a shame that these Lawmakers are priding over their continual dragging Nigeria's name to the Mud.
