Yahaya Bello: Kogi Assembly asks Tinubu to sack EFCC Chairman

The Kogi State Assembly has demanded the removal of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The lawmakers claimed that there were assassination attempts on the former governor of the state, Yahaya Bello, which they see as a threat to the current governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo.

They accused the anti-graft agency of attacking the governor’s lodge unprovoked and suggested the EFCC is acting as if it were above the law.

Calling on President Tinubu to sack Ola Olukoyede, the EFCC boss, and replace him with a new one, the Assembly said his actions show incompetence.

During a plenary session, the lawmakers expressed their strong disapproval of EFCC’s “unjustified assault” on the Kogi State Government Lodge, characterising it as an affront to Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo and the Kogi people.
