“We were told that we were not going to live long [enough] to even finish the exercise. They were death threats, very clearly death threats. Fortunately, we are still around,” Mr Lawan said to the BBC during the probe.
Unknown to Nigerians then, the self-acclaimed ‘Mr Integrity’ was using the free publicity to negotiate deals with those he was investigating.
