Bwala made the call during an appearance on Arise Television on Tuesday morning.

Former spokesman for the defunct Atiku-Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Daniel Bwala has slammed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over the manner it is pursuing the case of former Kogi state Governor, Yahaya Bello.

He said EFCC should be reformed

Bwala made the call during an appearance on Arise Television on Tuesday morning.

His comment comes against the backdrop of the anti-graft agency’s resolve to prosecute the former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello.

The EFCC is seeking to arraign Bello on 19 counts bordering on alleged money laundering, breach of trust, and misappropriation of funds to the tune of N80.2 billion.

Speaking on the development, Bwala said the chairman of the EFCC, Ola Olukoyede, shot himself in the leg during an interview he gave on Tuesday.

He said, “I don’t think, at this stage, anyone should doubt that the EFCC needs reform. In the interview he had on Tuesday, he shot himself with so many types of bullets, showing the world that it is a disproportionate application of their principles.

“One, he said he would give the governor a chance to come to his office through the back door for an interview, which nobody gets, and the law is that everyone is equal and nobody is above the law.

“Secondly, it also shows the zeal with which he (Yahaya Bello) must be arrested. There are similar cases before him (EFCC chairman), to which he has given a preliminary indictment, but the person has not been arrested.

“A good example is the suspended Humanitarian Minister, and there’s no drama around her. He even said it’s not about her but the system. In one breath, it’s about personality; in another, it’s not.”
