Shootings As EFCC Goes After Yahaya Bello At Kogi Governor's Lodge In Abuja by InfoGuru118(op): 11:25pm On Sep 18, 2024
Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, are currently engaged in a standoff with security personnel attached to Kogi State Government Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja.

News360 Nigeria gathered that the EFCC officers had laid siege to the house in an attempt to forcefully remove Alhaji Yahaya Bello, the immediate past governor of Kogi State.

Bello Media Office made the claims in statement this evening, adding that the EFCC should be held responsible if anything happens to Bello.

The statement by Ohiare Michael, Director, Media, noted that “It has come to our notice that people suspected to be operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, are currently around the Kogi Government Lodge, Asokoro in an attempt to forcefully arrest former Governor Yahaya Bello.

“They were shooting sporadically.

“But the Commission told him to leave and come at a later date, only to mount a gestapo-like attack on the Kogi State Government facility in Asokoro.

“We want to place it on record that the EFCC should be held accountable if anything untoward happens to him.

“Tonight’s attack was needless as the former Governor made himself available to the EFCC in their office for interrogation. The EFCC had no question to ask Alhaji Yahaya Bello in the morning, but suddenly, they are out to arrest him.

“This action is condemnable. They have displayed the very reason many Nigerians believe they were fighting political battles instead of the mandate to fight corruption.

“This action reflects much more than the fight against corruption.”

Face-saving antics by the clowns...

Someone you declared wanted casually strolled in and out of your office without any drama but chose to give the citizens drama after the fact...

Dolts

Re: Shootings As EFCC Goes After Yahaya Bello At Kogi Governor's Lodge In Abuja by Gadafii:
Yaya Bello you have been looking for many months, declared him wanted, even EFCC boss threatened to resigned if Bello is not arrested and prosecuted.
The Yaya Bello walked into your office like a gangster all smiling and you told him he can leave without interrogating him, only to waylay him later huh


This EFCC and it's leadership na mumu walai, that's all I have to say

If na to burst apts and hotel Dem sabi, track small small Yahoo boys and chain them like they stole the statue of Liberty, it is well

I agree on EFCC on this,Bello cannot appear at EFCC office when he wants or feels comfortable to do so. He has been doing hide and seek and any move to seize him by EFCC is welcomed.
he went to EFCC office to take pictures, yeye man

Again? I thought the guy was in their office yesterday did he use charm on them that they didn't know he was the one? Why shooting?
Re: Shootings As EFCC Goes After Yahaya Bello At Kogi Governor's Lodge In Abuja by Globad(f): 5:21am On Sep 19, 2024
Are the security men attached to the state House Lodge not personnel of.the police? Why didn't efcc just work with the police authorities?

Why the standoff?

Is it necessary?
Re: Shootings As EFCC Goes After Yahaya Bello At Kogi Governor's Lodge In Abuja by Bmaster(m): 5:21am On Sep 19, 2024
efcc will still debunk this news.
Re: Shootings As EFCC Goes After Yahaya Bello At Kogi Governor's Lodge In Abuja by ogaemma: 5:21am On Sep 19, 2024
I can't figure out why the hide and seek between Bello and the EFCC.
So many conflicting News on social media and the radio.
Bello said, he went to EFCC office by himself, EFCC came out and say, Bello is not in their custody.
Now they are having a face off in Abuja.
Why will the Security in the Government house lodge stop the EFCC from carrying out their constitutional duty?
The same way the police over protect the Chinese men from arrest.
No synergy in the NIGERIA Security community.

Bello is one person that acts without thinking.....


Governors should understand that they're not above the laws and whatever actions they take while in office will always cause them their freedom after leaving the office ....

No matter who you place to cover your loots as your successor.

With all the atrocities he committed, he's not willing to face the time for the crimes....

Since you say he went to efcc office to take pictures, was d office empty when he went there?

There's nothing wrong with him getting arrested.

EFCC and other units in Nigeria randomly arrests everyone - even anyone with dreadlocks is tagged a fraudster and wrongfully arrested, which is wrong.

His arrest doesn't mean he's guilty of any crime until he's convicted.

lol bello played two can play the game why was he there with the governor??him think say he wise
Re: Shootings As EFCC Goes After Yahaya Bello At Kogi Governor's Lodge In Abuja by Houseontherock1:
These guys just like pretending like they are working! Apparently, Bello was there in their office, why didn't they interrogate him? Even if he went with a governor, he presented himself for interrogation and I doubt the governor would have objected but even if they anticipated the governor's protection, they should have tried and let the people know! They didn't have to waste scarce resources going after him in commando style...not demure at allundecided
