Kogi govt attacks EFCC over N80bn case against Yahaya Bello

The Kogi State Government, has described as laughable the allegation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission that the immediate-past governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, was involved in an alleged N80bn.
The state governor on Tuesday, expressed its displeasure that the EFCC could amend a current charge, before the Federal High Court in Abuja in a bid to prosecute Bello, who left office on January 27.
The government, in a statement by the Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, accused the EFCC of collaborating with criminals masquerading as politicians to tarnish Bello’s image.
He said, This was not only laughable but portrayed the EFCC as an agency infested with persons whose intents disagree with the noble intention of President to defeat corruption in Nigeria.
