Politics / Gov Ododo Didn’t Shield Yahaya Bello From Arrest – Commissioner by Ofunaofu: 4:13pm On Apr 19
Kogi State Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, has said Governor Usman Ododo did not help his predecessor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, beat security operatives who wanted to arrest him.

Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had laid a siege to Bello’s Abuja residence, where they wanted to arrest him.

But Ododo arrived at the scene and hours after he drove out, there were reports that Bello had sneaked out with him.

This made security operatives who had spent hours at the gate to release volley of shots during its recent operation at his house.

But speaking in an interview with Channels TV, Fanwo, who also worked under Bello, said Ododo is committed to upholding the laws of the country, including respecting its legal processes.

Governor Ododo did not assist in Bello’s departure from his residence; the EFCC’s claims are misinformation aimed at furthering their objectives. Bello is not evading anyone; the existing court injunction protects his fundamental rights,” he said.

Fanwo rejected the anti-graft agency’s claims, describing them as baseless and product of an organized disinformation campaign.

He argued further that the ex-governor is not attempting to avoid arrest, referring a state high court injunction that protects Bello from harassment by the anti-graft agency.

The commissioner therefore criticized the commission ‘s allegations even as he questioned the agency’s certainty about Bello’s whereabouts.

He said Governor Ododo remained a law-abiding leader who respects the rule of law and the Constitution of the country.

Just relaying the thoughts of the Nigeria oppositions

All these don't mean anything. They are just razzmatazz to keep Nigerians distracted.

Imagine if Yahaya Bello never stole the common wealth of the people of Kogi State; he wouldn't have had any reason to evade arrest and be running. He would have just made himself available because he knows his hands are clean.

Imagine if Tinubu, whom he paid a visit to recently, was not a notorious narcotics drug trafficker, a criminal who also stole the common wealth of Lagosians. Yahaya Bello wouldn't have had any reason to be evading arrest and running away, hoping and believing that Tinubu would tell the EFCC to back off and let him be for now.

Politics / Tinubu’s Government Has Not Borrowed From CBN — Edun by Ofunaofu: 6:49am On Apr 19
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun, said yesterday that the Federal Government would pin down Ways and Means to deal with the problem of too much liquidity in the system


Fielding questions from journalists after a meeting with investors at the ongoing Spring Meetings of the IMF and World Bank in Washington DC, yesterday, he said that the fiscal and monetary authorities were complementing each other to bring down inflation.


According to him, “We will pin down Ways and Means to alleviate the pressure of the excess money in the system.

“By so doing the two authorities are working hand in hand to bring down inflation and pressure on price stability and stabilising the exchange rate, with the target of bringing down interest rate so that investors can borrow at a more affordable rate and getting the economy going in the right direction again.


“We need to borrow less and focus more on domestic resource mobilisation. We want long-term resources to avoid repayment and refinancing pressures.”

The Minister added that the nation’s tax/GDP was too low, even lower than the African region average and that as such, reforms were underway to streamline the number of taxes, deploy technology and implement policies that would double tax revenue in the next three years

His words, “At 10 per cent to GDP, what should I say, it would appear as if some people are not paying their taxes.
Our strategy is to increase the tax revenue without increasing the rate of taxes. We want to deploy technology to make tax collection more efficient.

“Our analysis has shown that 90 per cent of tax revenue comes from nine tax heads while we have over 80 taxes from federal, through states to local councils.

“Mr. President eleven if we eliminate the large number of these taxes and concentrate on the nine that yield the current 90 per cent revenue and deploy technology, there will be more efficiency and we will be able to double our tax revenue in about three years.


“If we eliminate the large number of taxes and bill people properly we will gain in terms of the peoples’ willingness to pay and you will collect more revenue.”

Addressing a question on food security, the minister said that the administration was dealing with the problem of providing access for farmers to their farms, especially in parts of the country where insecurity has played a major role in reducing food production.

“What the security says now is that the insecurity now is more of economic than doctrinal reasons”.
Mr. Edun added that agro clusters were being developed in collaboration with the African Development Bank to increase food production in the country.

Politics / You May Meet Bobrisky In Prison, PDP Chieftain Taunts Yahaya Bello by Ofunaofu: 1:08am On Apr 19
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), House of Representatives candidate for Dekina/Bassa Federal Constituency in the 2023 elections, Austin Okai, has slammed embattled former Kogi governor Yahaya Bello for preventing the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from prosecuting him over alleged theft of N84bn from the coffers of the state.

Okai’s reaction came on the heels of the declaration by the former governor that the EFCC had disobeyed a court order by attempting to arrest him to answer the charge of the alleged N84bn theft.

Okai, in a post Thursday morning, said Yahaya Bello might likely end up in prison like Bobrisky (Nigerian crossdresser) despite his attempts to evade arrest.

“They have prepared the worse sides of prison for him and he may even meet Bobrisky there,” he wrote.

Politics / Attorney General Asks Ex-governor Yahaya Bello To Surrender Self To EFCC by Ofunaofu: 12:49am On Apr 19
The Attorney General of the Federation said the EFCC has statutory powers "to invite any person of interest to interact with them in the course of their investigation into any matter regardless of status."

The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, has asked Yahaya Bello, a former governor of Kogi State, to turn himself in to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

He said in a statement on Thursday that the EFCC has statutory powers “to invite any person of interest to interact with them in the course of their investigation into any matter regardless of status.”

Mr Bello, who faces N80 billion money laundering charges, refused to appear before the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday where he was expected to take his plea.


Earlier on Wednesday, EFCC operatives laid siege to Mr Bello’s residence in Wuse Zone 4, Abuja, for several hours in a bid to arrest him.


The operatives were unable to carry out the court-ordered arrest as a result of the stiff resistance they faced from the police personnel guarding the house.

The incumbent Governor of Kogi State, Usman Ododo, later showed at the house during the police-EFCC stand-off.

He was believed to have later departed the residence in his official vehicle with with Mr Bello.

Mr Bello failed to appear in court for his scheduled arraignment in court on Thursday, but his lawyers were present.

AGF reacts
But in a statement later on Thursday, the AGF, Mr Fagbemi, condemned the former governor’s conduct of refusing to submit himself for trial.

The minister described the standoff between the EFCC and police personnel as a matter of “grave concern.”

He said the EFCC has statutory powers “to invite any person of interest to interact with them in the course of their investigation into any matter regardless of status.”

“Therefore, the least that we can all do when invited, is not to put any obstruction in the way of EFCC but to honourably answer their invitation.

“A situation where public officials who are themselves subject of protection by law enforcement agents will set up a stratagem of obstruction to the civil and commendable efforts of the EFCC to perform its duty is to say the least, insufferably disquieting.

“I therefore encourage anyone who has been invited by the EFCC or any other agency to immediately toe the path of decency and civility by honouring such invitation instead of embarking on a temporising self-help and escapism that can only put our country in bad light before the rest of the world.”

Wanted
The EFCC declared Mr Bello wanted after Thursday’s proceedings.

The commission urged members of the public with credible information about Mr Bello’s whereabouts to volunteer such to the agency.

At Thursday’s proceedings, EFCC’s prosecuting counsel, Kemi Pinheiro, said efforts by the EFCC to arrest and serve the pending charges on Mr Bello were thwarted by the current Governor of Kogi State, Usman Ododo, who was said to have sneaked Mr Bello away in his official vehicle.


Mr Pinheiro, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), leading Jibrin Okutepa, also a SAN, for the prosecution, said a “bloodbath” was averted on account of the anti-graft agency’s professionalism in handling the stand-off between EFCC operatives who were trying to arrest Mr Bello and the police officers attached to the residence obstructing the former governor’s arrest.

Court hearing
Furious about Mr Bello’s failure to attend court on Thursday for arraignment, EFCC prosecutor, Kemi Pinheiro, said the government would not mind inviting the military to bring him to court.

Mr Pinheiro, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), leading Jibrin Okutepa, also a SAN, for the prosecution, said a “bloodbath” was averted on account of the anti-graft agency’s professionalism in handling the stand-off between EFCC operatives who were trying to arrest Mr Bello and the police officers attached to the residence obstructing the former governor’s arrest.
The prosecuting lawyer clarified that while Mr Ododo enjoys immunity from prosecution, his predecessor, Mr Bello, has since lost his immunity and must be brought before the court.

Referencing section 12 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015, Mr Pinheiro said, “We will invite the military if need be to produce the defendant (Mr Bello) in court. Immunity does not attach to a home; it attaches to a person. We will produce the defendant in court.”

But Mr Bello’s lawyer, Abdulwahab Muhammed, said his client was not in breach of any court order.

Mr Muhammed, a SAN, cited an order of a High Court in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, restraining the EFCC from arresting and detaining his client.

Also, the defence lawyer argued that an appeal on the suit was pending at the Court of Appeal in Abuja.

EFCC’s move to bring Mr Bello to trial follows years of investigating him and his family members.

The commission’s longtime investigations of the former governor had resulted in the N10 billion money laundering charges it instituted against his nephew, Ali Bello, and a co-defendant in 2022.

The prosecution named former Governor Bello in one of the newly introduced counts as an accomplice, but not as a defendant.

In the new case, the EFCC accused Mr Bello, his nephew, Ali Bello; Dauda Suleiman and Abdulsalam Hudu (said to still be at large) of conspiring to convert the total sum of N80 billion (N80, 246,470, 088.88) in February 2016.
