“Vacate Government House Lokoja And Surrender To EFCC” – Kogi Youth Group Tells Yahaya Bello

GovernMend Nigeria April 22, 2024 0

A youth group in Kogi State has issued a stern demand for former Governor Yahaya Bello to relinquish his hold on the Government House in Lokoja and submit himself to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The group alleges that Bello is evading arrest in connection with allegations of misappropriating over ₦85 billion.

In a press release signed by Comrade Abdulquadri Shuaibu on behalf of the Network of Professional Kogi State Youths, the group condemned Bello’s actions as regrettable, disgraceful, and embarrassing. They stressed the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring justice is served.

The coalition issued a 24-hour ultimatum for Bello to surrender to the EFCC or the nearest police station. Additionally, they called for the immediate resignation of the current Governor, Alhaji Usman Adodo, whom they accuse of aiding Bello’s evasion of arrest.

“As a former Governor, we expected some level of decorum and respect for the rule of law from him. The recent confrontation between the EFCC and Governor Yahaya Bello at his Abuja residence is regrettable and an embarrassment to Kogi people and Nigerians at large. We unequivocally condemn the former Governor’s conduct and insist that justice must prevail.

“As a united Coalition representing the citizens of Kogi State, we issue a 24-hour ultimatum to Governor Yahaya Bello to vacate the Government House and surrender to the EFCC or the nearest Police Station. Failure to comply will result in a mega protest to demand Governor Bello’s accountability and uphold the integrity of our judicial system.”

The youth group also commended the efforts of individuals, law enforcement agencies, and state institutions in ensuring justice is served and the looted funds belonging to the people of Kogi State are recovered to facilitate the state’s development.

“We commend the EFCC for declaring Governor Yahaya Bello wanted and express solidarity with the Attorney General of the Federation’s commitment to combating corruption. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s dedication to this cause is commendable, and we urge him to persevere. Furthermore, we applaud the Inspector General of Police (IGP) for withdrawing police protection from Governor Bello. We urge the IGP to do everything within his power to ensure Yahaya Bello is arrested and handed over to the appropriate authorities for investigation and prosecution,” the statement concluded.
