Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, allegedly stormed the State Kogi Government Lodge in Asokoro, on Wednesday night, September 18,  to forcefully arrest the immediate past Governor Yahaya Bello.

A statement issued by Bello’s Director of Media, Ohiare Michael, alleged that EFCC operatives were shooting 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 shooting sporadically.

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 questions 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.”
