EFCC Says It Faces Harassment Over Yahaya Bello Case, Points to Court Delays

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it has faced public criticism over delays in high-profile cases, including the alleged corruption case against former Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello. The commission says the cases are before the courts and that it cannot decide when they will be resolved. EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale made the remarks at a joint briefing by security agency spokespersons in Abuja. He said the commission investigates and prosecutes cases, while the judiciary is responsible for adjudicating them. He also cited the agency’s reported 98 per cent prosecution success rate as evidence of its diligence. The EFCC says the Bello matter is before two courts and that it will await their decisions. The agency also said it would comment on electoral spending at an appropriate time.
