Call
EFCC To Order – Yahaya Bello Begs Tinubu.
Former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello has asked
President Bola Tinubu to call the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, to
order after operatives of the agency stormed his Abuja residence on Wednesday
in a bid to arrest him.
Bello urged Tinubu to caution the agency for disobeying a
subsisting court order and disgracing him “at all cost”.
Bello made the appeal after EFCC operatives laid siege at
his residence in Abuja, preventing vehicular movement in the area.
Reacting to the development in a statement by his Media
Office, the former governor said EFCC’s action was contrary to a subsisting
court order granted on February 9, 2024 by the Kogi State High Court, in Suit
between Alhaji Yahaya Bello Vs. EFCC.
He noted that the court restrained the EFCC either by
itself or its agents from harassing, arresting, detaining or prosecuting him,
pending the hearing and determination of the substantive fundamental rights
enforcement action.
