Gov Yahaya Bello leaves EFCC office, yet to be interrogated

The former Governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello has left Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) headquarters in Abuja without being interrogated following his visit in the early hours of Wednesday.

Director of Media to former Governor Bello, Ohiare Michael, however, did not give any reason why the former governor was asked to leave without being interrogated by the officials of the agency.

“Earlier today, we reported the voluntary visit of former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission office to honour the Commission’s invitation.

“In the statement, we reiterated the former Governor’s great respect for the rule of law and constituted authority, and stressed that all the while, he only sought the enforcement of his fundamental rights to ensure due process.

“The EFCC did not, however, interrogate him as officials told him he could leave. We don’t know what this means yet. ”

“As we write, Alhaji Yahaya Bello has left the EFCC office. He was accompanied there by the Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo,” the statement reads

Recall that the case has been before a competent court of jurisdiction, and Alhaji Yahaya Bello had been duly represented by his legal team at every hearing. The former Governor decided to honour the invitation to clear his name as he has nothing to hide and nothing to fear.
