While swirling controversy surrounding the alleged evasion of arrest by former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello, the state's Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, has stepped forward to dispel rumors implicating Governor Usman Ododo in assisting Bello's departure from his residence during an attempted arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In an exclusive interview with Channels TV, Fanwo vehemently denied claims that Ododo aided Bello's escape, asserting the governor's commitment to upholding the country's laws and respecting legal processes.
Fanwo dismissed the EFCC's allegations as misinformation, emphasizing that Bello is not evading arrest but rather protected by a court injunction safeguarding his fundamental rights.
He criticized the EFCC's assertions, challenging the agency's certainty about Bello's whereabouts and reaffirming Ododo's stance as a law-abiding leader who respects the rule of law and the Nigerian Constitution.
