EFCC: Why Yahaya Bello Can’t Evade Arrest, Prosecution — Falana by Gemid94(m): 6:09am On Apr 18

Renowned human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) has described the ongoing attempts by former Kogi governor Yahaya Bello to evade arrest and prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as “legally untenable”.

He also faulted a court ruling stopping the EFCC from arresting and prosecuting the former Kogi governor.

“By virtue of section 35(1) (c) of the Constitution, the police, anti-graft agencies, and other prosecutorial bodies cannot be prevented by a court of law from arresting a criminal suspect once there is reasonable suspicion that he or she has committed a criminal offence.

"The Supreme Court had pointed out that the order of a High Court to the effect that a criminal suspect should not be arrested cannot bar a court of coordinate jurisdiction from trying him. In the case of Orji Kalu v Federal Republic of Nigeria (2016) 39 WRN 53, the Appellant challenged the EFCC for charging him before the Federal High Court in spite of the order of the High Court of Abia State restraining the anti-graft agency from violating his fundamental right to personal liberty.

Besides, any serious government should have arrested him and Ganduje immediately they left government house.

The house of assembly in kogi state should as a matter of fact, begin impeachment hearings on the new Olodo governor. . .I miss Obasanjo jare!!!!

The governor of Kogi State should be stripped off his immunity for obstructing law enforcement officials from carrying out their legitimate duty.

this should be in a sane country, that action of Òdodo is enough ground for impeachment but here it's a norm. Obstruction of justice is a criminal offense

Yahaya Bello must account for his stewardship of kogi people, the attorney general must call the governor of kogi state to order....he is embarrassing APC, showcasing them as a people who behave like outlaws. We know Bello put you in there as a stooge, but understand that Nigeria and it's institutions are bigger than Bello.

Kogi state government is behaving comical, Bello went against the laws of the federation, he is answerable to the nation, and to kogi people.

If you miss Obj because of the illegal ways he was removing governors then you don't know what DEMOCRACY means
He has more better ways of removing them that stole than all those illegal ways that were eventually overturned by the courts . The man simply didn't have democratic credentials

Why is Yahaya Bello running is the question that begs for answer if he thinks he is innocent, he should just go clear his name. And Ododo the stooge is doing exactly what Yahaya Bello made him governor for; helping and protecting him from being arrested, Nigeria na cruise

This charade by the former Governor of Kogi state won't help him. He's only making matters bad for himself. You are not bigger than the system. He thought he'd remain in power for ever to continue stealing...
