The Media Office of Yahaya Bello, former Governor of Kogi State, has launched a scathing critique of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), accusing the agency of conducting a politically motivated “hatchet job” against the ex-governor.
The statement, signed by Ohiare Michael, claims that the EFCC’s recent actions and press statements are biased and influenced by personal interests rather than a genuine commitment to combating corruption.
The EFCC had previously declared Bello wanted, stirring significant media attention.
Reports indicated that he had voluntarily appeared at the agency’s headquarters but was subsequently allowed to leave without any charges being filed against him.
This has raised questions about the EFCC’s intentions and the integrity of its actions.
“If the EFCC was truly interested in prosecution, would the agency not have taken him in on that day?” the statement rhetorically asked, suggesting ulterior motives behind the agency’s operations.
The media office further urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to intervene in the ongoing dispute between Bello and the EFCC, emphasizing that the fight against corruption must be equitable and inclusive.
“Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians,” the statement concluded, calling for a fair approach to governance and accountability.
