I’ll Resign If I Don’t Arrest, Prosecute Yahaya Bello – EFCC Boss, Olukoyede Speaks Tough

Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, has vowed to ensure that the former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, is arrested.

The EFCC boss said he made a direct phone call to Bello out of respect, urging him to appear before the commission and address the charges against him.

The EFCC boss said unfortunately, the former governor declined the invitation.

Bello has since been declared wanted by the EFCC as he remains in hiding, hoping that the case against him will die down in no time.

“If I do not personally oversee the completion of the investigation regarding Yahaya Bello, I will tender my resignation as the chairman of the EFCC,” he told reporters on Wednesday.

Olukoyede highlighted the importance of Nigerians supporting the EFCC for its success, emphasizing that the agency’s failure would reflect negatively on Nigeria

The EFCC boss pointed to the fact that the ongoing efforts have positively impacted the value of the Naira and the foreign market.
