Yahaya Bello not running from the law -- EFCC never invited him, says media office

In a statement signed by Ohiare Michael, Bello’s media office said the anti-graft agency declared the former governor wanted without sending an invitation his way.The EFCC is accusing the former governor of involvement in the laundering of N80.2 billion belonging to the Kogi government.AdvertisementBello was believed to have been rescued from his residence by Ododo.

“They should also tell Nigerians the date the alleged invitation was delivered and who it was delivered to. We are certain that the EFCC will not be able to produce any of the foregoing as to date, they have yet to invite Alhaji Yahaya Bello.

“It was thus clear from the foregoing that the EFCC was out for mischief. A stage was being set to move in a gestapo manner to his home, lay siege there and violently arrest him with the aim of tarnishing his name and ruining his reputation as if he were a fugitive even though he was not invited.”Michael accused the EFCC of violating the court order barring the agency from harassing the former governor.
