Yahaya Bello wanted EFCC to interrogate him in his village– EFCC Chair, Ola Olukoyede

Olukoyede said the EFCC did not violate any law while trying
to arrest the former governor from his residence.

“Rather, we have obeyed the law. I inherited the case and I
didn’t create it. Why has he not submitted himself to the law?” he asked.

 “I have arraigned two
past governors who have been granted bail now — Willie Obiano and Abdulfatah
Ahmed.”

The EFCC chair vowed that everyone involved in obstructing
Bello’s arrest from his Abuja residence will face the full wrath of the law.

“We would have gone after him since January but we waited
for the court order,” Olukoyede said.

“As early as 7 am, my men were there. Over 50 of them. They
mounted surveillance.

 “We met over 30 armed
policemen there. We would have exchanged fire and there would have been
casualties.

“My men were about to move in when the governor of Kogi
drove in and they later changed the narrative.”

He vowed that all those who have dipped their hands into the
public till would be investigated and prosecuted.

“If I can do Obiano, Abdulfatah Ahmed and Chief Olu
Agunloye, my kinsman, why not Yahaya Bello?” Olukoyede said.
