Nigeria's independent online newspaper
Former Kogi state governor Yahaya Bello’s theatrics and calculated moves to impress the public last week about his resolve to honour the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission are still fresh in our memory.
How can a fugitive appear in public for the first time after being declared wanted with such impunity? That the EFCC chairman, Ola Olukoyede, turned down his surrender game plan shows that the EFCC is a serious, professional anti-corruption agency that would not compromise its operational principles, even for a wanted suspect.
The truth of the matter is that the EFCC acted rightly, wisely and professionally by not allowing Yahaya Bello to compromise its operational codes. There are certainly some backend facts that may not be known to the public on why he was not taken into custody.
