In an effort to forcibly arrest former governor Yahaya Bello, members of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, or EFCC, besieged the Kogi Government Lodge in Asokoro on Wednesday night.

According to a statement made by Ohiare Michael, Bello’s Director of Media, EFCC agents were intermittently firing.

Michael asked Nigerians to hold the EFCC accountable if something were to happen to Bello, even as he denounced the attack.

ZINGTIE recalls that Bello paid a voluntary visit to the EFCC office earlier today, but the commission instructed him to leave and return at a later time.

The statement reads: “It has come to our notice that people suspected to be operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission are currently around the Kogi Government Lodge, Asokoro, in an attempt to forcefully arrest former Governor Yahaya Bello. They were shooting sporadically.

“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 questions to ask Alh. 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. We will keep Nigerians posted.”
