The Northern Emancipation Network, NEN has called on calls on the EFCC to respect the rule of law and await the judgment from the Court of Appeal before taking any further action against Yahaya Bello.
Urging EFCC to suspend its witch hunt for the former governor, chairman of the group, Suleiman Abba’s in a statement condemned the recent actions taken by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in declaring former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello wanted.
Abba in his statement said: “The Northern Emancipation Network (NEN) would like to address the recent declaration of former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello as wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
“We believe that upholding the rule of law is essential in any democracy, and the circumstances surrounding Yahaya Bello's case demand a fair and just approach.
“The NEN expresses deep concern over the actions taken by the EFCC in declaring Yahaya Bello wanted. While we acknowledge the EFCC's authority to declare someone wanted, we believe that the unique circumstances of Yahaya Bello's case warrant a more cautious and respectful approach to the rule of law.
“It is important to note that Yahaya Bello sought legal recourse by going to court to prevent the EFCC from arresting him. A high court granted an interim order which restrained the EFCC from taking any further action. Subsequently, the EFCC appealed this decision to the Court of Appeal, resulting in a scheduled judgment set for Monday.
“Given the pending judgment from the Court of Appeal, it is perplexing why the EFCC would proceed to declare Yahaya Bello wanted. This action raises questions about the integrity of the legal process and the adherence to due process.
“While the arrest and interrogation are crucial steps in the investigative process, the filing of charges and subsequent court proceedings mark a significant shift in the legal journey of Yahaha Bello.
Once charges were filed, his interactions with the investigating authorities come to an end, as focus shifts to the court proceedings.
“This marks the formal beginning of the legal process, where the accused has the opportunity to defend himself against the allegations brought forth by the prosecuting authorities.
“Therefore, the arrest and interrogation of Yahaya Bello served as initial steps in the investigative process, while the filing of charges and court proceedings constitute a more structured and legalistic approach to addressing the allegations.
“ It is in the courtroom where his fate will be decided, and where his innocence or guilt will be determined based on the evidence presented and the arguments made by both sides.
“The NEN calls on the EFCC to respect the rule of law and await the judgment from the Court of Appeal before taking any further action against Yahaya Bello. Upholding the principles of justice and fairness is essential to maintaining the credibility of our legal system and ensuring that all individuals are treated with respect and dignity.
“We urge the EFCC to exercise restraint and adhere to the legal process in dealing with the case of Yahaya Bello. It is imperative that we uphold the rule of law and protect the rights of all individuals, regardless of their status or position. Let us work together to ensure that justice is served and that our democracy remains strong and resilient.”
