Asks Yahaya Bello to submit self to court
Foremost anti-corruption and transparency group, Vanguard for Credible Representation (VCR), has commended the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC), for its renewed commitment to fight corruption.
In recent times, the commission has noticeably raised the bar in its war against graft with the arrest and investigation of corruption allegations against the former governor of Taraba State, Darius Ishaku.
EFCC also filed fresh charges against the embattled former Kogi governor, Yahaya Bello, and many other anti-graft investigations, upping the ante on its charge against corruption.
Vanguard for Credible Representation’s Head of Mission, Onche Ugbabe, in a statement on Thursday, noted that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has once again proved that it is poised to carry out its mandate without fear or favour.
She described the commission’s new-found commitment and contributions of well-meaning Nigerians as worthy of commendation, noting that EFCC is surely making remarkable steps in the direction of the fight against corruption.
The statement read, “We are happy to commend the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission for its recent vigour in carrying out its anti-corruption mandate. The recent efforts will not only pave way for more collaborations and supports but will also enhance the image of the Commission.
“These efforts and inspirations must be extended to far and wide of the extent of corrupt practices to make it a remarkable story at the end.
“We again ask the former governor of Kogi, Yahaya Bello to submit himself to the Commission and keep his date at the law court. The Commission should also focus on the oil and other sectors as it is doing on the states.”
The group restated its promise to stand behind the efforts of the federal and state governments, EFCC, ICPC, NFIU, all security and anti-corruption agencies and units in birthing a new and prosperous Nigeria.
