Earlier today, former Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State voluntarily presented himself to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, at its headquarters.
For reasons best known to that most disgusting and utterly pathetic excuse for a law enforcement agency that is actually just a cesspit of graft and corruption, they neither interrogated nor took him into custody but asked him to go.
They asked the man they had declared wanted to go home!
I am informed that right now, the same EFCC are at the Kogi State Government Lodge in Abuja, shooting sporadically like a bunch of thugs and common criminals in a show of shame to arrest the same individual who had earlier on in the day reported at their office!
Who does that but a totally possessed criminal organisation masquerading as a low enforcement agency?
In short , the EFCC is really just a citadel of bribery and corruption.
I just recently underwent a medical procedure but rushed to the EFCC headquarters this morning when I heard GYB had reported himself to the commission only to be told that he was asked to go home.
In law, if you are declared wanted and you report yourself to law enforcement, only for law enforcement to ask you to go home, the presumption is that they have no case against you.
It is crystal clear that the EFCC was taken unawares by GYB ingressing their headquarters through the front door, like a true law abiding citizen, rather than through the backdoor as their pathetic excuse for a chairman, Olanipekun Olukoyede, had hoped in what is obviously a ploy to shake him down under the guise of fighting corruption.
The EFCC is a most lawless agency .
It is, without a doubt, by far the most corrupt agency of our government and it should be clear to all Nigerians by now that it has no interest in fighting corruption.
This is not how to fight corruption.
The time is 10pm, Wednesday, 18, September, 2024 and I am driving to the Kogi State Government Lodge in Asokoro Abuja, right now.
