Alleged N80.2 Billion Fr@ud: EFCC operatives storm Kogi Governor’s Lodge in search of Yahaya Bello

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) stormed the Kogi Government Lodge in Asokoro on Wednesday night, September 18, in an attempt to forcefully arrest former Governor Yahaya Bello.

A statement issued by Bello’s Director of Media, Ohiare Michael, said EFCC operatives were sh%%ting sporadically.

“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 sh%%ting sporadically.

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

Tonight’s att@ck was needless, as the former governor made himself available to the EFCC in their office for interrogation. The EFCC had no questions to ask Alh. Yahaya Bello in the morning, but suddenly, they are out to arrest him.

This action is cond€mnable. They have displayed the very reason many Nigerians believe they were fi¥hting political b@ttles instead of the mandate to fi¥ht corruption. This action reflects much more than the fi¥ht against corruption. We will keep Nigerians posted,” the statement reads.
