Northern youth groups have continued their tour across the region to voice concerns over what they perceive as the unjust treatment of former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The groups, notably the Northern Youth Movement for Good Governance and Democratic Values and the North Central Progressive Voice, joined forces in what they termed the “Northern Nigeria Solidarity Walk and World Press Conference,” as they converged in Yola as well as Maiduguri on Thursday and Friday respectively.
The group expressed worry over the EFCC’s actions and potential violations of constitutional principles and the rule of law. Drawing attention to a court order issued by the Lokoja High Court on February 9th, 2024, which prohibited the EFCC from arresting or prosecuting Yahaya Bello, the letter highlighted the EFCC’s subsequent appeal and the pending motion for a stay of execution.
