Over the years, we have come to discount Nigeria’s big brother as a weak blind buffoon that cannot watch his own house, but that may be a costly assumption.

Sahara Reporters published a phone conversation reportedly between Senator Dino Melaye, a Nigerian senator representing Kogi West Local government in Kogi State and Muhammed Audu, son of Abubakar Audu, late Kogi State governor.

This tape is coming one month after Sahara Reporters released another call between the senator and a lawmaker where bribes were reportedly being negotiated in US dollars.
