Former Governor of Kogi State, HE Alh. Yahaya Bello voluntarily visited the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) office to honour the anti-graft’s invitation but the Commission asked him to leave without any interrogation.
A release by Ohiare Michael, Director, Media of Yahaya Bello, states, “We reiterated the former Governor’s great respect for the rule of law and constituted authority, and stressed that, all the while, he only sought the enforcement of his fundamental rights in order to ensure due process.
“The EFCC did not, however, interrogate him as officials told him he could leave. We don’t know what this means yet. As we write, HE Alhaji Yahaya Bello has left the EFCC office. He was accompanied there by the Governor of Kogi State, HE Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo.
“Recall that the case has been before a competent court of jurisdiction, and Alhaji Yahaya Bello had been duly represented by his legal team at every hearing. The former Governor decided to honour the invitation to clear his name as he has nothing to hide and nothing to fear.” Ohiare stated.
