Yahaya Bello Given Privileges Bobrisky Was Denied – Bwala

Daniel Bwala, a former spokesman of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has criticized the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for allegedly giving certain privileges to former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, while denying the same to crossdresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky, who was recently convicted and sentenced for publicly abusing the Naira….READ ALSO Salihu Lukman Calls For APC To Enforce Code Of Conduct For Leaders Amid Yahaya Bello Controversies

Bwala faulted the EFCC’s alleged disregard for the rule of law, describing the recent press conference by the commission’s chairman, Ola Olukayode, as a “media trial.”

The anti-graft agency had accused Bello of allegedly misappropriating the sum of N80 billion and other allegations. During a media briefing, the EFCC boss vowed to resign if he failed to prosecute Bello, whom he accused of evading arrest, detention, and prosecution.

Reacting to the development during a chat with ARISE TV, Bwala described the press conference as a “drama skit,” stating that the commission’s boss was conducting public discussions akin to a courtroom trial, indirectly giving Bello a chance to escape.

“What happened was like a prosecutor in court doing his opening address in the view of prosecuting the matter. And who was the judge yesterday? It was the pressmen.

“That same privilege, Yahaya Bello does not have to also state his own case. So, we can call it a complete trial by the media.

“This is one of the many reasons why people tend to ask the question, is the commission actually intending to prosecute, or is the commission indirectly giving an opportunity for the accused to escape?” he queried.
