Yahaya Bello’s alleged corruption is child’s play to ex-governors from South South – NACAT
The Network Against Corruption and Trafficking Initiative, NACAT, has said it is at loss at why the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC have not started investigating some of the immediate past governors.
The group accused some of these governors of looting their states to the tone of over N500 billions, wondering why the anti-graft agencies are quite.
The initiative said it has submitted petitions to the anti-graft agencies, where it demanded to prosecution of the likes of the former Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa.
Recall that a statesman from Delta has also submitted a petition to the EFCC citing misappropriation of state funds by the former Governor.
“If the EFCC will constantly turn a blind eye to such corruption that happened under Okowa, which makes that of ex-governor Yahaya Bello’s N88 billion a child play, then they should let Yahaya Bello walk scot-free,” the group said during a press conference addressed by Tega Oghenedoro, its Executive Director, Investigation and Stanley Ugabe, Operations Manager, in Abuja on Wednesday.
It seems that the EFCC is in bed with ex-governors from the South South who are the biggest looters in the country.
“As a leading anti-corruption group in Nigeria, we will be failing in our duties and responsibilities if we turn a blind eye to the wanton corruption and embezzlement of public funds orchestrated by [these] former governor[s] and not bring it to the public domain.
“We have painstakingly investigated and audited many of the financial records of [Delta] State available to us and detailed our findings.“
