The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has expressed its readiness to engage former Kogi governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, in court over the fraud allegation of N8.2 billion against him.
EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, who said in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja, added that Bello must have his day in court.
Oyewale said that just like other indicted former ministers, ex-governors, several top government officials, captains of industries, internet fraudsters facing trial, Bello would not be an exemption.
According to him, attempts to frustrate the ongoing investigation and prosecution of the alleged fraud case would not work.
The EFCC spokesman further said the anti-graft agency was ready to provide all evidence to prove its case in court.
According to him, the commission remains committed to ensuring that the law takes its course in the money laundering charges already filed against Bello in Court.
”EFCC is eager to engage the former governor in the courtroom, where the avalanche of evidence so painstakingly assembled can be presented.
”Bello must have his day in court, no matter the recourse to blackmail, appeal to emotive public sympathy or acts of brigandage.
”The EFCC will continue with its no sacred cow policy, no matter whose ox is gored.The EFCC is not unaware of the fact that corruption fights back.
”Bello must have his day in court, no matter the recourse to blackmail, appeal to emotive public sympathy or acts of brigandage,” he said.
