EFCC is an illegal agency, Yahaya Bello argues, gives reason for absence in court

Yahaya Bello, the embattled immediate past Governor of Kogi State, has argued that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is an illegal body.

According to him, the Federal Government did not consult the 36 States of the federation before it enacted the EFCC Act through the National Assembly.

Bello, who was absent for his arraignment on Tuesday, spoke through his team of lawyers who addressed the court on his behalf on Tuesday.
