Read Time:1 Minute, 9 Second
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed a withdrawal of its appeal against Yahaya Bello, the former governor of the state. This move, announced by the EFCC’s counsel, J.S Okutepa, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), signifies a significant shift in the legal proceedings surrounding Bello’s case. According to reports, the withdrawal is attributed to the appeal being filed beyond the legally permissible timeframe, highlighting a procedural aspect in the legal process.
Furthermore, the EFCC acknowledged that events have rendered the appeal moot, as indicated by the decision of the Kogi high court in a related case involving Alhaji Yahaya Bello versus EFCC. This acknowledgment underscores the evolving nature of the legal landscape surrounding Bello’s situation. The EFCC’s notice of discontinuance explicitly states its intention to completely withdraw the appeal against Bello, emphasizing the finality of this decision in legal terms.
Additionally, recent developments have added another layer to the situation, with the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) withdrawing all police officers previously assigned to Bello. This directive, communicated through an official police message, further underscores the shifting dynamics surrounding Bello’s status and the actions being taken by law enforcement agencies.
Overall, these developments mark significant shifts in the legal and law enforcement spheres concerning Yahaya Bello, signaling a complex and evolving situation with potential implications for the ongoing legal proceedings and Bello’s status.

What ever decision made by the EFCC, must have been proved beyond reasonable doubt that He is not guilty of the crime leveled against him.
The enforcement agency need to give a reason for withdrawing all police officers assigned to him.
Powers in high places that you can not comprehend. Lol
