The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has stated that former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello remains innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
The Commission emphasized that while investigations into alleged financial misconduct are ongoing, the principle of presumption of innocence remains central to Nigeria’s judicial process. EFCC officials noted that only a competent court can determine guilt, and until then, Bello retains his legal rights.
This statement comes amid heightened public interest in the case, with many Nigerians closely following developments. The EFCC reiterated its commitment to due process and transparency in handling corruption-related matters.
