BREAKING: Presidency speaks as EFCC declares Yahaya Bello wanted

The presidency has reacted to the decision of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to declare former Kogi governor, Yahaya Bello wanted.

In a tweet on Thursday, Bayo Onanuga, the speacial adviser to President Bola Tinubu on information and strategy, advised Bello to turn himself in to the authorities.

“Yahaya Bello, where will you run to? It’s better you submit yourself to the EFCC and get a good lawyer,” he wrote.

Politics Nigeria earlier reported that the EFCC issued a public notice seeking information on the whereabouts of former Kogi State governor.

According to a post on its official Facebook page, the anti-graft commission said Bello is wanted in connection with alleged economic and financial crimes amounting to N80.2 billion.

”Anybody with information as to his whereabouts should report immediately to the Commission or the nearest Police Station,” the EFCC stated.

Bello was whisked away from his Abuja home yesterday by his successor, Governor Usman Ododo, while EFCC operatives laid siege at his residence.

In reaction, the EFCC warned that it is a criminal offence to obstruct officers of the commission from carrying out their lawful duties.

Similarly, the minister of justice, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, urged Bello to submit himself to the EFCC or the Federal Government may involve the military.

Why advise him to get a good lawyer

Una wan help am abi?

That advice has many meaning, mainly oga at this juncture you re on your own carry your cross.

This country is just too messy. Politics is a dirty game

The huge question to the Nigerian Senate who enjoys no immunity. Does our constitution deal with abuse of the immunity clause? If not, isn't it high time this lacuna gets treated for the sake of generations to come?

Onanuga is just too jobless and idle.

Toh

Joseph Gobbles has just given him a clue on how they roll

I thought you only declare someone missing when you do not know their whereabouts.

Jokesters.

Let him drag the case till 2027....after which he will go to the senate and all sins will be forgiven

It would interest you to know that yahaya bello can't win an ordinary councillorship election in his constituency...!!

The governorship he got is out of an act of God and result was written for him for his second tenure..!!!

Same template he wanted to use to install his stooge that the matter is before the tribunal now...!!

With the sort of stories heard about Kogi state, EFCC sure sey the money no pass this 80 billion? 😢

No word for the governor who obstructed justice?

Yahaya Bello why are you running

Nothing concern me but E dey mind

Personally, I am tired of watching EFCC run after governors after they have squandered their state resources. We need intelligent people working for the EFCC.

Review the antigraft law in a way that the commission will prevent corruption from happening. Why is this too hard for them to do?

A former governor behaving like a common criminal.
Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew

Yahaya Bello got things too easy for him in politics, so he will think that's how simple life is. He became Governor on a platter of gold,

You know where he is. Stop pretending. You just said the Olodo abi is it Ododo whisked him away. Frustrate Ododo and Bello will surface. This needle has a thread. Pull one and the other will surface
