The Kogi State House of Assembly has called for the removal of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, accusing him of mishandling the investigation into former Governor Yahaya Bello.
The lawmakers condemned what they described as an “unprovoked attack” on the Kogi State Government Lodge in Abuja, calling it an assault on the state’s governor and its people, according to a post on the Kogi State Government’s website on Monday.
During its plenary session on Monday, the Assembly asserted that the EFCC’s 17 April as well as 18 September actions amounted to “an assassination attempt” on both Mr Bello and his successor, Governor Ahmed Ododo.
