Yahaya Bello Has Great Respect For Nigeria’s Rule Of Law – Legal Team

The Media team of the former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello has come out to confirm that he was at the facility of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

They recently revealed that the ex-governor honoured the invitation after consultation with his legal team and political associates, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to his team, the EFCC did not interrogate Yahaya Bello in any way, and he was told he could leave after some time.

Director of his legal team, Ohiare Michael added that Bello has great respect for the rule of law and constituted authority, so he had to heed EFCC’s call.

His words, “Earlier today, we reported the voluntary visit of former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission office to honour the Commission’s invitation.

In the statement, we reiterated the former Governor’s great respect for the rule of law and constituted authority and stressed that all the while, he only sought the enforcement of his fundamental rights in order to ensure due process.

The EFCC did not, however, interrogate him as officials told him he could leave. We don’t know what this means yet. As we write, Yahaya Bello has left the EFCC office. He was accompanied there by the Governor of Kogi State, Ahmed Usman Ododo.

Recall that the case has been before a competent court of jurisdiction, and Alhaji Yahaya Bello had been duly represented by his legal team at every hearing. The former Governor decided to honour the invitation to clear his name as he has nothing to hide and nothing to fear.”
