THE International Police (INTERPOL) has rejected the request of former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice Mohammed Bello Adoke
It said it could not grant the request because it deals with states and not individuals. Adoke’s lawyers wrote the INTERPOL, seeking his release based on what they called the vacation, on October 25, of the warrant of arrest issued against him by Justice Danlami Senchi of the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja.
This has become a bone of contention among the government, the INTERPOL and Adoke’s lead counsel Mike Ozekhome .But the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is pushing that Adoke be brought back home for trial. “All those in charge are at a crossroads and they are afraid of taking any decision which might be seen as against the anti-corruption agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari. This is why it has been difficult to get an attestation letter from the government.
It was gathered that after a three-week wait, Adoke’s counsel presented the facts before the INTERPOL National Central Bureau , Abu Dhabi. The bureau also confirmed that Adoke was arrested based on a May 23 letter to the Inspector-General of Police by the EFCC.The letter reads in part: “I am directed to inform you that Adoke Mohammed Bello, one of the persons referred to has been arrested in the United Arab Emirates and in the custody of the authorities.
