The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has sworn to follow the prosecution of former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, to logical conclusion.
In a chat with journalists at the EFCC Headquarters in the Jabi area of Abuja on Tuesday, the anti-graft chairman vowed that all those who obstructed the arrest of the former governor would be brought to book.
He said that no matter what anyone does or the amount of attack against the anti-graft agency, he and his men will not relent in helping to sanitise the country.
He recounted how he placed a call directly to the former Governor personally as a show of respect for him to come to the commission and answer to the charges but he refused to come.
He said Yahaya Bello asked that EFCC comes to his village to effect his arrest.
Olukayode claimed that the embattled former governor had allegedly withdrew $720,000 from the government account.
According to the EFCC boss, Bello wired the money to a Bureau de Change operator to pay for his child’s school fees in advance.
The revelation came after the anti-graft agency declared the fugitive ex-Governor wanted.
He assured that anybody obstructing the arrest of the former Kogi State Governor will be brought to justice.Olukoyede said the EFCC needs the support of Nigerians to succeed as he emphasised that if the agency fails, Nigeria fails. He stated that the efforts made currently has helped the value of the Naira and the foreign market.
