Bello made enemies with powerful forces when he was governor. He will not escape this – EFCC

According to a report from The Sun, an official of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has disclosed the agency’s determination to prosecute a former governor, Yahaya Bello, for alleged financial misconduct. The source highlighted Bello’s strained relationships with influential figures and emphasized the seriousness of the allegations against him. Despite previous connections, including with former President Buhari, the EFCC remains committed to pursuing the case. The source noted that Bello’s loss of immunity leaves him vulnerable, and attempts to evade accountability will be futile. This development underscores ongoing efforts to combat corruption within Nigeria’s political landscape.

The official said, “Bello made enemies with powerful forces when he was governor. He will not escape this. The amount he allegedly stole is too huge to be ignored, even by President Tinubu. Instead of hiding, he should face the music. The EFCC is bent on prosecuting him. The matter didn’t start today. Even when his friend Buhari was the President, EFCC was onto him. Since Tinubu has refused to see Governor Ododo on the matter, it means Bello will face the music alone. He has lost his immunity and the unnecessary game he’s playing will not work,” a reliable source revealed.”
