A former member of the House of Representative, Farouk Lawan, who was jailed for bribery in 2021, has been released from Kuje prison.

The Supreme Court also early this year upheld the five years sentence of the former House of Representatives member.

Farouk stepped out of Kuje prison on Tuesday after completing his jail term.


The lawmaker announced his freedom in a statement he personally penned and made available to The Eagle Online on Tuesday.


 


The statement reads in full:


 


Thank Almighty Allah – Hon Farouk Lawan

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.


 


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.


 


I remain grateful and indebted to my family and friends who stood by me through this particularly trying phase of my l


ife.


 


May Allah SWT bless you.
