This headline is misleading

He is still being prosecuted, Nigerians should read up news first to understand the content before commenting

socialmediaman:
Imagine that you’re working for a heroin trafficker.

Do you think he will let you arrest heroin users who are his friends and customers?

This was my thought at the beginning of this issue.
Most politicians love Tinubu, not because of his prowess in governance, but he will always come through for them.
Why do you think Bello was this confident after stealing.
We never had it like this during OBJ or GEJ🤦‍♂️

Withdrawing a the appeal will allow Bellos Arrest at his court appearance next week, if he evades the court next week the judge may declared him to be arrested and that overtakes the kogi high court earlier order....

Awon weyrey don fold

Pipefitter:
The EFCC chairman should do the honorable thing and resign then..

No, that’s not it.
A case had been already filed at the federal high court, Abuja. That’s the main case. The one withdrawn has to do with the legality or not of his arrest.

DMerciful:
All these media outlets in support of Bello, trying to mislead the public.

EFCC had appealed the Kogi State high Court decision for Bello not to be arrested and prosecuted. However, since the federal high court has made a ruling for substituted service, the EFCC does not need the physical presence of Bello hence withdrawing the appeal because it has been taken over by events.

Yahaya Bello will be prosecuted and jailed!
The main court case involving his prosecution is still on and it's adjourned to May where Bello is expected to appear or face a bench warrant!

That’s exactly the way it is. You got it correctly.

I wonder why youths on this forum never read properly and never follow up correctly with events.

EFCC was created to arrest yahoo boys and girls in nigerian universities. this one dey go do pass himself.

Bello is one the biggest yahoo boys.

It's a ploy by the EFCC to bring yeye bello out of hiding since the present Governor is shielding him.the moment they grab him e don be for am.since when EFCC begin dey obey court orders

Pipefitter:
The EFCC chairman should do the honorable thing and resign then..

On what basis? Are you part of those who believe alleged thieves should not be prosecuted?

I thought one Mr. audio guy said he will resign?

yarimo:
Mr EFCC chairman please resign immediately, it's clear you don't know anything about the court and your job . Yahaya Bello should file defamation against the chairman

So many evil minded people in Nigeria.
........ and this is one of them

yarimo:
Mr EFCC chairman please resign immediately, it's clear you don't know anything about the court and your job

Yari baby I believe you die

yarimo:
Mr EFCC chairman please resign immediately, it's clear you don't know anything about the court and your job . Yahaya Bello should file defamation against the chairman

Na so the matter don reach?

malali:
CASE WAS NOT WITHDRAWN......CASE WENT TO TWO COURTS.

DUPLICITY WAS INFERRED. IT WAS WITHDRAWN FROM ONE COURT.

ALLOWING THE OTHER COURT TO SUPERSEDE AND PRESIDE.

YAHYA BELLO IS STILL WANTED AND WILL BE ARRESTED ON SIGHT.

ONCE HE COMES OUT OF HIDING.

YAHYA BELLO IS DOING A THIRD TERM AS KOGI STATE GOVERNOR.

Why the duplicity in the first place? Smacks of a personal agenda and incompetence. We will be here to see Bello as he gets away with his crimes unscathed even after going to trial.

The movie script don end be that.

Pipefitter:
The EFCC chairman should do the honorable thing and resign then..

What that simply means is that, they have 1 case with 2 different courts. And one had delivered the judgement to their satisfactions.

Many Nigerians in nairaland are actually illiterates. Immediately they saw withdrawal, they started saying nonsense. Have you all forgotten that the case is in two courts? The president also wants bello to be prosecuted. Bello would definitely end up in court facing the music. It's just a matter of time

Dikegodspower:
No be naija again??
Bello enjoy, you don wack the money

Call for celebration?
Youths supporting youth ko..

yarimo:
Mr EFCC chairman please resign immediately, it's clear you don't know anything about the court and your job

You don forget say Yahaya Bello na Apc and him boss(Tinubu) na Apc? Baba go don tell EFCC chairman to calm down.

The reason for that withdrawal of the appeal as seen above is that, by the judgement of the court delivered on the 17th April, 2024, the interim order of the court that stopped EFCC from arresting and prosecuting Yahaya Bello pending the hearing and determination of the substantive case before the court has elapsed and as such, the Appeal filed by the EFCC against that order that stopped the EFCC from arresting and prosecuting Yahaya Bello, which the EFCC withdrew today, has become incompetent, academic exercise and null.

So, if the EFCC is not happy about the judgement delivered on the 17th April, 2024, it's to appeal against that judgement of the 17th April, 2024. Though, the judgement is not against EFCC so, as it stands now, there is no need for the EFCC to appeal against the judgement of 17th April, 2024, now as it is, the EFCC haven withdrawn the interlocutory appeal it filed, the EFCC is to now proceed with the arrest and prosecution of the former governor cos there is nowhere in the Kogi State's high court's judgment that bars the EFCC from arresting and prosecuting the former governor.

This Efcc man just acted as if he's new in Nigeria
Keep running your mouth up and down
Just one call baba done humble. Welcome to Nigeria

The anti-corruption CZAR...

This is either fake news or a trap to get him out of his hole

So many illiterates here

Boyooosa:


Na him be d only u*ele$$ media house that reported it that way, others reported Withdrawal of Appeal. The u*ele$$ media reported Withdrawal of fraud case...confusionists everywhere!

I don't know how the MoD fell for it's trap sef

Just like the way LIB does her thing.

Most people didn't read before commenting as usual.🤷🏽‍♀️

EFCC should withdraw any case against Yahaya Bello. Afterall, he is an APC member and a Buhari loyalist. He was not the one that stole the most in that era.

Let selective Justice continue in Nigeria so that a few will steal the future of the silent majority that are just there looking like Lucozade.

I think wat the post was saying is that the commission is withdrawing the case from the appeal court and letting kogi high court decide preside over it. On the basis of jurisdiction

Jesus you people on NL are dimwits.

See how first page is littered with un-comprehending and illiterate minds.

They'll rather rush to be FTC and be sounding like illiterate buffoons

This was made known in court application filed on Tuesday at the Court of Appeal Abuja judicial division by J. S. Okutepa, SAN and others on behalf of the Commission.

This is the guy handling Muri's case at the tribunal. Yahaya is in trouble.
