The Nation Newspaper EFCC lays siege to ex-governor Bello's residence for seven hours
The team was yet to gain entrance into the building at the time of filing this report.But the media office of the former governor said the invasion of Bello’s residence was in defiance of a subsisting court order.
Although the operatives got to the residence of the ex-governor at 9, Bengazi Street in Zone 4 of Wuse District, Abuja at 9.30 am, there had been a standoff for seven hours.A top source in EFCC said: “There is an ongoing case in court in which Bello was implicated in some charges. But the Ex-Governor, through his Media Office said he cannot be arrested by the EFCC because there is a restraining order against the commission.
“The Appeal was accompanied by a Motion for Stay of Execution of the Order of the High Court which the Court of Appeal adjourned for hearing till the 22nd day of April 2024. “It is a surprise that an agency led by a lawyer could flagrantly disobey a subsisting court order by taking actions contrary to the reliefs granted.It faulted a situation where law enforcers will allegedly disregard the law.
“Nigerians have perceived the desperation of the anti-graft agency to embarrass and harass the former governor by all means through spurious allegations, especially the latest one dating back to September 2015, way before he assumed office.
