Breaking: EFCC to use military to move Yahaya Bello out of Kogi govt house
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said it is considering usage of military personnel to move former Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello from the state’s government house in Lokoja.
The commission had on Wednesday attempted to arrest the former governor at his residence in Abuja but was later whisked away by his successor, Usman Ododo.
He is being trailed over allegation of financial mismanagement while in office as governor.
Bello was supposed to be arraigned in court this Thursday but the planned arraignment could not take place due to his absence.
During the proceedings on Thursday, Counsel to EFCC, Mr Kemi Pinheiro, SAN, told the court that the commission will drag Bello before the court to face his trial, even, if it means engaging the military to get him.
He said, “We may have to invite the military to move Yahaya Bello out of where he is hiding.
“We may have to engage the military to force him out because immunity does not cover him where he is hiding.
“No one is above the law. Immunity covers only the governor and not everyone around him.”
