Nowhere to Run, Submit to EFCC, Onanuga Warns Yahaya Bello Amidst N80.2bn Scandal

Jimba media April 19, 2024

Bayo Onanuga, the spokesperson to President Bola Tinubu, has issued a compelling plea to former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, urging him to voluntarily surrender to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in light of recent allegations.

In response to the EFCC's declaration of Bello as wanted for purported financial crimes amounting to N80.2 billion, Onanuga emphasized that Bello is left with no recourse but to face the charges head-on.

The statement by Onanuga underscores the gravity of the situation facing Bello, who finds himself entangled in a legal quagmire following the EFCC's relentless pursuit of justice. With nowhere to escape, Bello is implored to present himself to the EFCC and secure competent legal representation to navigate the ensuing legal proceedings.

The call for Bello's surrender comes on the heels of the EFCC's declaration and subsequent manhunt for the former governor, heightening tensions and drawing widespread attention to the unfolding saga.

Earlier in the day, Bello was notably absent from proceedings at the Federal High Court in Abuja, where he was slated to face charges brought against him by the EFCC. This conspicuous absence further compounds the mounting pressure on Bello to address the allegations leveled against him.

Against this backdrop, Onanuga's admonition serves as a stark reminder of the urgency for Bello to confront the allegations head-on and engage in due legal process to vindicate himself.

In the face of mounting scrutiny and public scrutiny, Bello's next steps remain uncertain as the EFCC intensifies its efforts to bring him to justice. With the weight of the law bearing down upon him, Bello's decision to heed Onanuga's counsel could prove pivotal in shaping the outcome of the unfolding legal drama.

As the saga unfolds, the nation watches with bated breath to see how Bello responds to the EFCC's pursuit of justice and whether he will heed the call to face the allegations leveled against him in a court of law.
