Natasha Akpoti sends strong message to Yahaya Bello over Kogi looting

Senator representing Kogi Central, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has condemned the former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello for running away from justice.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) declared the former governor wanted after he refused to honour the commission’s invitation.
EFCC who had summoned the former governor to explain how a staggering sum of N80.2 billion disappeared from the state government treasury during his tenure.
However, Bello declined, citing fears of confrontations with lurking journalists allegedly planted by an unnamed female senator at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja.
Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan commends the EFCC’s resilience in the face of mounting pressure from suspects.
Recall that Bello mentioned that the fear of arrest is what is stopping him from making a public appearance in court.
While reacting, the senator praises the recent handover of 14 recovered assets to the Enugu State government after decades-long investigations.
Reacting to a recent video featuring EFCC boss Ola Olikoyede, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan notes that he had previously approached Bello to explain the mysterious disappearance of a large sum of money belonging to the Kogi state government.
She further emphasised that no one is above the law, regardless of their past status. She advised the EFCC not to betray public trust and to pursue the investigation to its conclusion.
