EXPOSED: Fleeing Yahaya Bello Mobilises Many Groups, Prints Banners For Planned Protest Against EFCC
Embattled former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello is currently mobilising some groups to protest against his planned arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Ibom Focus had reported that the anti-graft agency declared 48-year-old Bello wanted after he failed to appear for arraignment on 19-count charge bordering on criminal breach of trust and money laundering.
It was gathered on Monday that fugitive Bello is allegedly sponsoring a protest against EFCC over his trial.
A video showed some printed banners in preparation for the “solidarity” protest against the anti-graft agency.
Some of the printed banners reads: “Gov. Bello: EFCC Losing Credibility.” “Save Nigerian’s Democracy, Remove the bad eggs!” “Nigerians’ want EFCC to fight for Nigeria not politicians.” “Remove political witchhunt from Judiciary.” “Fighting corruption illegally is corruption!” “Follow due process of the law.” “No Justice in witch-hunt.”
Others read: “We are lawyers of conscience.” “Obedience to court order not optional.” “Obey court order.” “We are Judiciary watchdogs…” “Let Gov. Yahaya Bello breathe!” “Respect Gov. Bello’s rights!” “An independent judiciary is better justice.” “Stop suffocating our Democracy.” “EFCC willing tool in the hands political enemies?” “EFCC: Don’t disobey laws you are created to enforce,” among others.
A source disclosed that they were printed in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital.
