BREAKING: EFCC In Night Operation To Arrest Yahaya Bello

Published

on

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC have laid siege to the Kogi State Government Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja in an apparent bid to arrest the immediate past governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello.

GWG.ng reports that the alleged moves of the EFCC operatives to arrest Yahaya Bello follows the drama earlier in the day when the former governor reported himself at the EFCC office in Abuja but was turned away.

Alleging a plot to arrest Yahaya Bello and humiliate him, the former governor’s spokesman, Ohiare Michael said:

1. It has come to our notice that people suspected to be operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission are currently around the Kogi Government Lodge, Asokoro in an attempt to forcefully arrest former Governor Yahaya Bello. They were shooting sporadically.

2. It was reported earlier that the former Governor went to the EFCC Office voluntarily earlier today but the Commission told him to leave and come at a later date, only to mount a gestapo-like attack on the Kogi State Government facility in Asokoro.

3. We want to place it on record that the EFCC should be held accountable if anything untoward happens to him.

4.Tonight’s attack was needless as the former Governor made himself available to the EFCC in their office for interrogation. The EFCC had no question to ask Alh. Yahaya Bello in the morning, but suddenly, they are out to arrest him.

5. This action is condemnable. They have displayed the very reason many Nigerians believe they were fighting political battles instead of the mandate to fight corruption. This action reflects much more than the fight against corruption.
