Through legal passage, the former minister said Bello had sought the enforcement of his fundamental human rights because of the flaw in the charge brought against him by the anti-graft agency.

Why Yahaya Bello fight against EFCC

He said the controversy surrounding Yahaya Bello’s case was unnecessary, considering the details of the event.

His comment reads in part:

”There was an ongoing case with Yahaya Bello to enforce his fundamental human rights. It was based on one particular case in which the EFCC amended a charge and included him. That is charge number 5502022, pending before the federal high court in Abuja.

”At the accusation in that charge, I think there was an error by EFCC. The error was that he was being roped there because he was governor, but they referred to 2015. In 2015, the man said, I was not even a governor. I was a governor in 2016.”

Based on this premise, the former minister said that Bello had fought for his human rights.
