To Remove Former Governor Bello From Kogi Govt House, We Might Need To Use Force — EFCC

Yahaya Bello, the immediate former governor of Kogi State, is under threat from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to come out of hiding.

Over the past two weeks, there has been a game of hide and seek between the commission and the former governor.

On Wednesday, the commission broke into Bello's Abuja home in an attempt to arrest him, but they were prevented from doing so by outside forces.

Section 308 of the 1999 Constitution (as modified) grants his successor, Governor Ahmed Ododo, protection, hence it is possible that the previous governor was hiding in the Kogi State Government House.

The FBI's search has been for Bello, to place him under arrest on charges of mishandling funds while serving as governor.

This Thursday was Bello's scheduled court appearance, but he was not present, thus the arraignment could not proceed.

Attorney for the EFCC, Mr. Kemi Pinheiro, SAN, informed the court during Thursday's proceedings that Bello will be brought before the court for his trial, even if that means using the military to apprehend him.

In order to get Yahaya Bello out of hiding, he may need to be invited by the military, he stated.

"Immunity does not cover him where he is hiding, so we may need to use force to get him out.

Nobody is exempt from the law. The governor alone is immune; those around him are not.

TRIBUTE TO THE ONE AND ONLY HERO OF GENEROSITY WHO FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, FINISHED HIS COURSE, RECEIVED A CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND FINALLY A CONQUEROR.

We sat here in our sitting  room looking at your pictures. wondering why you couldn't be a part of us for life. Uncontrollable tears stream down my face , while my heartbeat starts to race. Asking God why he took you away from us now. it was more painful than stabbing any one in the heart with a knife.  We still needed you here. You were the one to make everything so clear. You are a part of us and we are part of you. When you died, part of soo many died too. I never knew how hard it was to lose someone you love until the day you went to heaven above. Even though I can't see you, We know you're up there watching over us Therefore; With heavy hearts to remember and celebrate the life of our beloved daddy, Pastor and evangelist,  I extend my deepest sympathies to Daddy Evangelist Danlami Job Abdullahi's family and share in their grief.  He was more than our spiritual guide; he was  a pillar of strength, comfort, ...
