The Vanguard for Credible Representation , a civil society organisation, has criticised Usman Ododo, governor of Kogi, for purportedly shielding Yahaya Bello from arrest.On April 18, 2024, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission declared Bello wanted over alleged money laundering, breach of trust, and misappropriation to the tune of N80.2 billion.The anti-graft agency also filed a 19-count charge against Bello over alleged money laundering.
“The effrontery and audacity against the constitution of Nigeria being displayed has never happened in the history of Nigeria and was hitherto unthought of.“We have formally written to the Nigeria Governors Forum, the Progressives Governors Forum and the Presidency to weigh-in and have this matter resolved on the side of the Nigerian people.
“It is a shame of the nation that the EFCC continues to bemoan lack of cooperation in its efforts to arrest the former governor, who is being shielded by his kinsman and successor in office, His Excellency, Alhaji Usman Ododo, governor of Kogi state.
