Former Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency, Alh Yahaya Bello earlier today, honoured the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

This decision was made after due consultations with his family, legal team and political allies.

The former Governor, who has great respect for the rule of law and constituted authority, had, all the while, only sought the enforcement of his fundamental rights in order to ensure due process.

According to a statement from the former governor media office, the governor is yet to be interrogated.

THE STATEMENT:

1. Earlier today, we reported the voluntary visit of former Governor of Kogi State, HE Alh. Yahaya Bello to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission office to honour the Commission’s invitation.

2. In the statement, 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

YAHAYA BELLO MEDIA OFFICE

Nice one the white lion of kogi state

EFCC have reported Bello to all the ancestors of our land, threatened it would rain fire and bream stone, wasted tax payers money on media shenanigans, and just when Mr Bello presented himself they turn around and say "you can leave" sir, then in the midnight they just locate any hotel of their choice and ransack everything while brutalising everyone on sight both staffs and guests..... Ladies and gentlemen please welcome the FBI of Nigeria 😂 😂 😂

This is the lowest you've come yet, how low can you go?

Which day will Peter Obi do the same and submit himself to the EFCC??

That useless Agulu fraud.

Ordinary yahaya Bello Tinubu cannot catch! so much for GCFR

Big boy (thief)! nothing do you! Nor be dis country we de where wahala nor de finish? But which of the offices did he report to? EFCC says he’s not in their custody; that he’s still wanted na!

Fergie001 Nlfpmod Mynd44. The lion was actually at the EFCC office today.

Just imagine! After Olukolade mouth making Yahaya Bello just took a stroll to EFCC office unchallenged. This is still the same charade anti-graft war the druggie criminal would be fighting.

Peter Obi is your nightmare but he has been straddling across and beyond this nation without your warped EFCC having any audacity to arrest or prosecute him. He was even cleared by the DSS to contest the last presidential election wherein he defeated your criminal drug lord in his Lagos backyard and Abuja to your shame and embarrassment. Meanwhile;

COMRADES, EFCC is joking, EFCC we have been looking for Yahaya Bello, Yahaya Bello, here I am. EFCC, oh! It was a mistaken identity

What a nonsense

Nigeria is an impossible place..

A 'wanted' man came to your office .. you did not arrest him but pretended like you didn't see him.. He actually came for a photo-op with his own media cameras so that it would be widely reported that he was there.. a mission he accomplished.
You then entered your office to declare him 'wanted' again..

Indeed there are two different countries in this place.. one for the rich and corrupt.. and one for the poor, oppressed and defeated..🤔🤔

Helpless Innocent young people were charged of treason just for carrying placards and protesting to seek for good governance but what could be more treasonable than stealing the commonwealth of the masses and converting public funds for personal use. The rich use their wealth to protect their loot in Nigeria because the laws are weak.

Maybe the EFCC would try to embasrrass him by swooping on him to arrest him when he least expected in order for the commission to save face.

Maybe they’re looking for a different Yahaya Bello that works for Binance

Meanwhile, how the consultation with family, legal team and political allies went

Shey Na This Country una dey pray for??

After about 6months, yeyebello sudden appearance and presence at EFCC office is a formality

Everything has already been Sorted out behind closed doors within the last few months.
