The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has reacted to reports of a Court order allegedly stopping them from arresting an embattled former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello.


Below is the statement made available to POLITICS NIGERIA on Monday;


“Against the backdrop of arguments and counter-arguments on whether the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has disobeyed a court order concerning the botched arrest of former governor of Kogi State, Mr. Yahaya Adoza Bello, the Commission has denied disobeying any court order in this regard.”

“In a Statement signed by the EFCC’s Acting Director, Public Affairs, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, the Commission clearly pointed out that though Bello sought refuge in a fundamental rights enforcement action through an order granted by Justice Isa Jamil Abdulallahi of the Kogi State High Court, the order did not vitiate or nullify an order made by the Federal High Court for the arrest of the former governor for the purpose of his arraignment.”

“The enrolled Order of the Kogi State High Court only granted an order to enforce Bello’s right to personal liberty and freedom of movement, it didn’t preclude the Federal High Court ‘to make any Order as it may deem just in the determination of the rights of the Applicant and the Respondent as may be submitted to her for consideration and determination”

“The Order made by the Federal High Court for the arrest of Mr. Yahaya Bello for the purpose of his arraignment is not in conflict with the Order of the Kogi State High Court. The case before the Federal High Court is a criminal charge which is different from the fundamental rights enforcement action that is the subject of an appeal”

Uwujaren pointed out that the EFCC had a shining track record in the prosecution of politically exposed persons and would continue to exercise its mandate in the overall interest of the nation. He admonished Bello to turn himself in and answer to the charges preferred against him by the Commission.

He called on all patriotic Nigerians to lend their voices in support of the Commission stressing that ” the EFCC will not relent in its quest to wrestle corruption to the ground”.

When the 'law' is easily circumvented with utmost impunity, it shows the judiciary has failed!

Has the order been vacated?

Why has the Efcc not approached the court to vacate the order?

There are flyers with the inscription, ' EFCC, stop harassing Yahaya Bello in one street in Abuja.

This is becoming a Media Charade that will inevitably end up as a Wild Goose Chase.

Believe the info at your own risk

APC politicians must really think that Nigerians are fools

Court order for what exactly someone declared wanted by federal government for crime and he is still using government court to throw court injunction up and down

This case no clear at all

lol. who is not a thief in nigeria
The difference between those stealing and those complaining , is just opportunity. Nobody wen no go chop

I am just wondering what he told the court to make them grant his request

Is like a confirmed yahoo yahoo guy getting a Court orders so EFCC will not arrest him or her

I just no understand

lmao

I really don't understand our legal system .... and this rubbish started with APC.... a criminal will just go to court and stop his or her arrest ... where in this world does that happen

Why are nigeria judges doing like this ?? ..🤔

Enough of all dis drama. If dey really want to get him arrested. They knw wot to do.

Uwujaren pointed out that the EFCC had a shining track record in the prosecution of politically exposed persons and would continue to exercise its mandate in the overall interest of the nation.

Stories for the gods!

EFCC had over the years proven to be an organization highly dependent on the presidency.

Until the likes of Wike,Ganduje,Odilli,etc are brought to Justice,I will never take EFCC seriously.

Wike is a criminal who became a billionaire exclusively in public service!

Who does that ,other than a thief?

Vv

it is turning to a Z-World something... very long drama.

o ti lor
