Kogi Youths Protest EFCC’s Plan To Arrest Yahaya Bello.
Some youths in Kogi State have protested against plans by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, to arrest former Governor Yahaya Bello over alleged N80.2 billion fraud.
The youths, who gathered in their numbers, barricaded the popular Lokoja-Abuja road which caused gridlock on the highway.
They protested under the auspices of the Coalition of Civil Society for Democracy, and Africa Youths Coalition for Justice, accusing the anti-graft agency of witch-hunting and victimizing the former Governor, and called for caution and adherence to the rule of law on Bello’s trial.
