“Tonight’s attack was needless as the former Governor made himself available to the EFCC in their office for interrogation. “The EFCC had no question to ask Alhaji Yahaya Bello in the morning, but suddenly, they are out to arrest him. “This action is condemnable. They have displayed the very reason many Nigerians believe they were fighting political battles instead of the mandate to fight corruption. “This action reflects much more than the fight against corruption.
