Kogi Youths Protest EFCC’s Moves Against Yahaya Bello

Youths in Kogi State protested on Tuesday against plans by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to arrest former Governor Yahaya Bello over alleged N80.2 billion fraud.

Gathering in large numbers, the youths barricaded the popular Lokoja-Abuja road, leading to a gridlock on the highway.

Protesting under the umbrella of the Coalition of Civil Society for Democracy and Africa Youths Coalition for Justice, they accused the anti-graft agency of witch-hunting and victimizing the former Governor.

They were seen carrying banners with various inscriptions, “Nigeria is not a banana republic”, “President Tinubu, call EFCC to order”, “EFCC stop witch hunting”, “Yahaya Bello remains a responsible citizen”, “EFCC obey court order now” and many more.

The groups urged for caution and strict adherence to the rule of law regarding Bello’s trial.
