yesterday said it would arraign a former Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello today before the Federal High Court in Abuja.The warrant put an end to a 12-hour siege to Bello’s Abuja residence.
Count 17 reads: “That you Yahaya Bello between 26th July 2021 to 6th April 2022 in Abuja within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court aided E-Traders International Limited to conceal the aggregate sum of N3,081,804,654.
“It is needful to state that Bello is not above the law and would be brought to justice as soon as possible.”A separate statement reads: “The EFCC wishes to warn members of the public that it is a criminal offence to obstruct officers of the Commission from carrying out their lawful duties. “The commission, therefore, warns that it will henceforth not tolerate any attempt by any person or organisation to obstruct its operation as such will be met with appropriate punitive actions.”While a court in Abuja granted an order to EFCC to arrest Bello, another court in Lokoja restrained the anti-graft agency from doing so.Justice Emeka Nwite issued the order in a ruling on an ex-parte motion, marked: FHC/ABJ/CR/98/2024, filed on April 17 by the EFCC.
A senior lawyer reviewing the conflicting court judgments yesterday cautioned the EFCC against picking which order to obey.
