Yahaya Bello is not a small child who could just be concealed somewhere, work with the DSS and police to get his actual location – Activist, Israel Joe tells EFCC

Human rights activist Comrade Israel Joe has expressed his disapproval of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) declaring the former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, wanted.

Joe remarked that such actions by the EFCC reflect poorly on the agency’s capability for thorough investigative work. He suggested that rather than publicly declaring Bello wanted, the EFCC should utilize its resources to locate him and bring him to justice, without undermining the public’s trust in the agency.

“Yahaya Bello is not a small child who could just be concealed somewhere.

“They should work with the DSS and Police to get his actual location and arrest him.

“They expect Nigerians to give them information? Is Yahaya Bello in the streets or village? They know where he is but lack the courage and morale to go get him,” he added.

He noted that the security agencies do not work in synergy pointing out that “It creates more danger to our teeming democracy. Some persons with immunity have always prevented security agencies from doing their jobs.”

“The current FCT minister Nyesom Wike when he was governor prevented DSS from arresting a judge in Rivers State and also prevented the DSS from arresting a former NDDC woman boss.
