The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has launched a renewed attempt to arrest the former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello.​


This latest effort saw EFCC operatives laying siege to the Kogi Government Lodge in Abuja in an attempt to effect the arrest.

According to the Director of the Yahaya Bello Media Office, Ohiare Michael, the situation raised questions about the EFCC’s intentions, mainly because Bello presented himself to the commission for questioning on Wednesday.

Michael expressed confusion over why the former governor was not interrogated during that visit.

Bello’s media team has maintained that the former governor willingly honoured the EFCC’s invitation, but the anti-graft agency has disputed this claim, labeling it as false.

Michael said, “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.

“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.

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

“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.

“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. We will keep Nigerians posted.”
