Some youths have taken to the streets of Kogi state on Tuesday to protest against plans by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC, to arrest former Governor Yahaya Bello.
 
Bello was accused by EFCC of engaging in N80.2 billion fraud.

They protested under the auspices of the Coalition of Civil Society for Democracy, and Africa Youths Coalition for Justice, accusing the anti-graft agency of witch-hunting and victimizing the former Governor.
 
They were seen carrying banners with various inscriptions, “Nigeria is not a banana republic”, “President Tinubu, call EFCC to order”, “EFCC stop witch hunting”, “Yahaya Bello remains a responsible citizen”, “EFCC obey court order now” and many more.
 
The groups called for caution and adherence to the rule of law on Bello’s trial.
