”Agents of Satan from the pit of hell”- FFK reacts to reports accusing Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello of fixing N20 bn state funds in a private account

Femi Fani-Kayode has come out to defend his friend, Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state who has been accused of fixing N20 billion of the state funds in a private account. A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Tuesday, August 31, ordered that the Kogi state’s salary bailout account domiciled in Sterling Bank Plc be frozen over a N20 billion loan obtained from the bank.

The EFCC had approached the court for an order in an ex-parte application brought pursuant to section 44 (2) of the Constitution and section 34(1) of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Act. Counsel to the EFCC, Abass Muhammed, told the court that the order was necessary so as to preserve the ‘res’ and abate further dissipation of the funds in the account, noted that the 20 billion loan meant to augment the salary payment and running cost of the State Government was kept in an interest-yielding account with Sterling bank. 

Reacting to the news, FFK in a post shared on his Instagram page described those peddling the ”slanderous falsehood” against his friend and brother as ”agents of satan from the pit of hell” adding that their plans have failed.

”I have faith and confidence in my friend and brother Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state. He NEVER paid 20 billion of public funds in a fixed deposit account, he wrote

“Those that are peddling these specious lies and slanderous falsehood are agents of satan from the pit of hell. Their attempt to discredit and destroy him has FAILED!Those that believe that Yahaya would fix 20 billion Naira of public funds in a fixed deposit account do not know him.He is a man of profound decency and integrity. I am sorry for those that are peddling this falsehood. I advise them to try something else: this one has failed woefully!, he added
