]]> A former member of the House of Representatives, Farouk Lawan has regained his freedom after serving his jail term at the Kuje Custodial Centre.

Spokesman of the Federal Capital Territory FCT Command of the Nigeria Correctional Service NCoS, Adamu Duza this development on Tuesday afternoon.

The former lawmaker, who was the chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Fuel Subsidy, bagged the jail term for seeking a $300,000 bribe from businessman Femi Otedola while probing the multi-billion naira fuel subsidy fraud in 2012.

He was released from the Kuje Correctional facility in Abuja on Tuesday.

“Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life as I step out of Kuje Custodial Centre, with a heart full of gratitude to Allah SWT for seeing me through this trial,” Lawan said in a statement he signed.

The former lawmaker thanked friends and family for their support in a “particularly trying phase of my life”.

“My gratitude is deep, I’m alive and in good health and high spirits to be with my family, friends, and associates. I don’t take that for granted,” he said.
