Did they need to vacate it or to petition the NJC for them to remove enemy of state that gave out kangaroo injunction after receiving million of Naira. |

Commit crime go to Nigeria court get injection not to be arrested. Nigeria a failed Nation and Impunity county. The law is for the poor Masses. Unfortunately the poor Masses are supporting their oppressor.. I weep for my country Nigeria. Heads need to roll for this nation to move forward. Is as simple as that. |

It;s a Federal Case and a Federal High Court also approved his arrest warrant so that State Court order can be overturned. Federal Agencies can't be stopped Bello must sleep at EFCC office at Jaabi |

Charmingrascal: Even yeye bello running is helping the efcc because if they succeeded, trial court may throw out the case for not obeying court order on d arrest. Anyway, I trust efcc will have another backup used without vacating the 1st court order. Our laws is our problems. |

So efcc should obey the attorney general of the federation, instead of the order of the court is that what you mean? Yahaya Bello is right to invade the arrest,he has not done anything wrong in the eyes of the law.Some of you just rush to comment on issue you don't understand 3 Likes |

Antoeni: Really! The Law of sowing and reaping at work if true. However, the loss to the State he presided over is my concern. God knows how many schools, hospitals he could have built with that money. Even, support to farmers would have reduced the poverty level in the State. NW still seems to be the worst in terms of meaningful progress. |

Yahaya Bello: EFCC’s Epic Performance in the Theatre of Absurdities – By Prof Abdulkarim Bobade Inside Story April 21, 2024 Nigerians on Wednesday woke up to the sordid spectacle of a large contingent of heavily armed operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission swooping on an entire street in the nation’s capital, Abuja, and surrounding the home of former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello ostensibly to arrest him to face trial on charges that are still being disputed. That the EFCC staged its Gestapo-like operation despite the pendency of a court order restraining it from arresting or harassing the former governor betrays its desperation to nail him on charges that are basically flawed and brought to humiliate him at all costs. Right-thinking persons cannot but agree that the show at Bello’s house, which played out on social media and live TV was a shameful and unnecessary spectacle, a throwback to the days General Sani Abacha and his goons when life and limb were not worth a penny. It is disgraceful that the EFCC, which claims to be an expert agency in investigating and prosecuting corruption cases alleged that Yahaya Bello stole about N80bn along with others from Kogi State’s coffers in September 2015, months before he was sworn in as governor in January 2016. Having realised its blunder, it reworked the charges to indicate the alleged offense was committed in February 2016, just three weeks after Bello took office on January 27, 2016. It is worth reiterating that going by the EFCC’s charges, the case against Bello raises more questions than answers and it would be nothing short of a miracle to stand in court. The question being asked is: How can someone steal N80 billion in less than a month in office? How much was in the state’s coffers? What was the entire budget for that year? In its epic performance in the theatre of absurdities, the EFCC has also demonstrated its disdain for the rule of law by filing the same so-called charges before three different judges of the Federal High Court, Abuja division as it continues fishing for a result similar to one sought by a football lottery player. In a country governed by laws of which the EFCC is itself a creation, the basic minimum standard expected is that if indeed it has any case against the former governor, it should not resort to abuse of court processes and prosecutorial powers by jumping from court to court even when the person in question has filed processes to enforce his fundamental rights. The EFCC itself has appealed that ruling. In a decent environment, the EFCC ought to wait for a ruling on that matter before proceeding and not attempt to present the court with a fait accompli by his forceful arrest and detention. To make matters worse, the EFCC, through its lawyer, Kemi Pinheiro said in open court that it would enlist the military in effecting Bello’s arrest, even when most Nigerians had thought that those days were over. This only amplifies the suspicions that this whole saga is a deliberate political witch-hunt directed at the former governor hitherto acknowledged as a rising star within the political landscape, especially within the ruling All Progressives Congress, and to truncate any attempt to further his career in politics. With these disturbing turn of events, the EFCC seems to have unwittingly presented itself as a tool in the hands of unseen political forces orchestrating a scheme to achieve its own ends at great risk to its credibility. The EFCC was well aware of an order given on Wednesday, April 17, by Justice I.A. Jamil of High Court, in Lokoja, in a substantive judgment enforcing the fundamental human rights of the applicant and restraining the EFCC from arresting, detaining or prosecuting Yahaya Bello based on the criminal charges pending before the said Federal High Court in respect of offences allegedly committed when he was not a governor. The Commission had also listed his name in an amended charge at a Federal High Court. As if that was not bad enough, it has proceeded again to file the same charge already before two other judges of the Federal High Court before another judge in the same Abuja even when it had filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal against the restraining order which was slated for hearing on Monday, April, 22, 2024. Why the rush? Bello’s media office has demanded an explanation for a situation where three courts in the same Federal High Court, Abuja Division, are saddled with hearing the same charges simultaneously. The EFCC boss, Ola Olukoyede, who himself is a lawyer ought to know that blatant disobedience of court orders, abuse of court processes, forum shopping, and sundry underhand tactics in carrying out its mandate is a threat to social cohesion and public order and a law enforcement agency should not be the poster child for such conduct. Indeed, this whole episode contradicts Olukoyede’s promise upon assuming office last year to abide by the rule of law in the conduct of EFCC’s operations. He should know that the EFCC cannot afford to choose which orders of the court to obey and which to ignore with the consequence of ridiculing the nation’s criminal justice system and the judiciary at large. Nigeria should not be made a laughing stock in the comity of nations on account of the misdeeds of an agency saddled with enforcing the law. However, despite all its efforts to nail Bello, the Kogi state government had stated unequivocally on many occasions that all its financial records are clean and up-to-date and that there are no missing or stolen funds belonging to the state. Nobody can say that the EFCC should not do its job but it needs to put its house in order and conduct extensive investigations to build watertight cases before approaching the courts so that citizens will see that it is implementing its mandate in a fair, clear and transparent manner. That is the essence of the rule of law mantra espoused by its boss. *Bobade,a political science lecturer,writes from Osun State.. |

drlaykay:Nigeria 🇳🇬 is a country with centrifugal forces slowly tearing it apart; a country with ethnic groups with diverse interests and without common value systems. Anyone can steal a whole year's income of the federal government, and takes a little percentage of the Stolen money to evade arrest by police or evade prosecution in a court of law. |
