FINALLY BUSTED! See The Powerful Governor Who Helped Yahaya Bello Escape EFCC Arrest
Former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello reportedly managed to evade arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Wednesday, with the support of the current governor, Usman Ododo. The EFCC had mounted an operation at the Kogi State Government Lodge in Abuja, aiming to apprehend Bello, who is facing allegations related to an N80. 2 billion fraud case. Despite the commission’ s efforts, Bello avoided arrest due to Ododo’ s intervention, taking advantage of the immunity the sitting governor enjoys.
This event is not the first instance where Bello has escaped the EFCC’ s grasp with Ododo’ s help. A similar incident occurred in April when EFCC operatives attempted to detain Bello during another raid in Abuja. In that case, Ododo reportedly assisted Bello in avoiding arrest, again leveraging the immunity afforded to him as the serving governor of Kogi State.

The latest attempt unfolded after both Bello and Ododo visited the EFCC headquarters. Following the visit, the commission refuted claims that Bello had been taken into custody, despite earlier assertions from Bello’ s media team suggesting that he had indeed been to the agency’ s office. Dele Oyewale, the EFCC spokesperson, confirmed that Bello was not arrested during or after the visit.
EFCC officials, however, have expressed frustration over the situation, attributing their inability to arrest Bello to Ododo’ s actions. The immunity that Ododo enjoys as governor prevents law enforcement from proceeding with an arrest when the governor is involved. The officials highlighted that while they were prepared to carry out their duties, Ododo’ s presence complicated the operation, leading to yet another failed attempt to detain Bello.
As the EFCC continues its investigation into the alleged N80. 2 billion fraud involving Bello, Ododo’ s involvement has raised concerns about the difficulties law enforcement faces when dealing with high- profile figures who enjoy legal protections due to their office. Despite repeated attempts to capture Bello, the commission remains hamstrung by the legal limitations surrounding gubernatorial immunity, allowing the former governor to elude arrest on more than one occasion.
Efforts to reach the EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale, for further comment were unsuccessful, as calls and messages to him went unanswered. The situation remains fluid, with the EFCC likely to face additional challenges as it seeks to move forward with its investigation. Meanwhile, questions persist about the role of immunity in hindering justice, particularly in cases involving significant financial allegations such as the one Bello faces.
Enough is enough. The Efcc chairman can not continuing cajole Nigerian because he has been settled and also the cabals has involved in this matter. Both the Efcc chairman and the presidency were both bird of thesame feather. President Bola Tinubu can not exonorate himself from corruption so also all his cabinet members are all corrupt. Lagos armed robbers ruling Nigeria. Thief born thieves.
