Signed by the Director, Yahaya Bello Media Office, Ohiare Michael, the former governor accused the EFCC of being bent on tarnishing his image with the media, insisting that he still remained innocent until a court of competent jurisdiction says otherwise
On Wednesday, our reporter reported that the EFCC stated that former Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello should be more interested in clearing his name than playing the victim and crying about persecution, where none exists.
The commission had in statement titled "Yahaya Bello Must Have His Day in Court” asserted that the appropriate place of surrender would be before Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court, Abuja, before whom his legal team had undertaken to produce him to answer to the 18 counts of money laundering preferred against him by the EFCC.
Reacting to the EFCC's statement, Bello through his media office, described it as “a face-saving but badly scripted statement," and asked why an agency which had declared the "former governor wanted, would beg him to go after four hours, after voluntarily presenting himself at the EFCC office".
