The Kogi State Assembly calls for the removal of the EFCC Chairman, alleging that there was an attempt on the life of Yahaya Bello.
During a plenary session, the lawmakers expressed their strong disapproval of the EFCC’s “unjustified assault” on the Kogi State Government Lodge, characterizing it as an affront to Governor Alhaji Ahmed Usman and kogi people.
The Honorable Aliyu Yusuf, while delivering the House’s resolution, expressed that,
“The House formally categorizes the April 17 and September 18 incidents as assassination attempts on the former Governor, and by extension, a threat to the life of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo.
“The unprovoked attack on the Governor’s Lodge and the firing of live rounds within a diplomatic residential zone further demonstrate that the EFCC has fully marinated in a sense of its own importance and power and now considers itself not only above the law but unanswerable to anyone or institution for its actions.”
“Because the EFCC Chairman has shown constantly gross incompetence, the House has resolved that the President should relieve him of his appointment with immediate effect and replace him with a competent officer who will give Mr. President’s crusade for the rule of law the needed effectiveness,”
