Yahaya Bello’s Case Still in Court — EFCC Chair Says “I’ve Done My Job” EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, says the prosecution of former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, is already underway and firmly in the hands of the court. Recall that Olukoyede had publicly vowed in April 2024 to resign if Bello was not prosecuted. Responding to public criticism over the slow pace of the case, he insisted that the EFCC has fulfilled its mandate. “Is Yahaya Bello not being prosecuted? The case is in court. I have three cases against him. Am I the judge to decide conviction?” Olukoyede said during an interview on Channels TV. According to him, Bello has been investigated and charged, stressing that the EFCC cannot control court proceedings. Yahaya Bello is currently facing: • A 16-count charge over alleged N110bn property fraud • Another 19-count charge involving N80.2bn in fraud and money laundering Both cases are before the Federal High Court. The big question Nigerians are asking: If the EFCC has “done its work,” why is this case still dragging — and how long will justice really take? #YahayaBello #EFCC #NigeriaPolitics #CorruptionCases
