Following the allegations levelled against former Kogi State Governor Alhaji Yahaya Bello over alleged N80.2billion fraud, the State House of Assembly has called on the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC, to obey the rule of law and work within the ambit of law.
This was part of the resolutions of the House during plenary on Tuesday. The lawmakers also demanded that the tag 'WANTED' laced around the name and person of the former governor be immediately removed. Other resolutions of the Assembly reads: 'The EFCC , IGP, IMMIGRATION, NSA and other agencies conscripted into this melodrama be so informed and involved to act accordingly.
'Recall that the whole narrative was principally sparked off by the blithe actions, without respect to due legal process, of the Nigeria's anti- graft agency the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission . 'The consequence of this has deeply affected the minds, emotions, and impressions of Kogi citizens and by extension Nigerians.
