Why Police Can’t Arrest Ex-Kogi Gov Bello – Presidency
The Presidency has shed light on the drama and legal conundrum surrounding the inability of security agencies to arrest former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, despite multiple efforts.
Presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, clarified the issue while speaking on Channels Television’s socio-economic program, ‘Inside Sources with Laolu Akande’ on Sunday.
Onanuga highlighted the unique challenges posed by Bello’s close association with his successor, Governor Usman Ododo, who enjoys constitutional immunity.
Our sources recalls that in April, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) declared Bello wanted in connection with an alleged financial crime involving N80.2 billion. Although the EFCC has made several attempts to arrest the former governor, the efforts have been thwarted, with Ododo reportedly shielding Bello and providing refuge for the latter at his official lodge.
