The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ola Olukoyede, has restated his intention to resign from office, insisting that he has fulfilled his mandate and that the prosecution of former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, is progressing through the courts.
Speaking during a television interview, Olukoyede dismissed claims that the high-profile case had stalled, explaining that the commission has completed its investigative responsibilities and filed multiple charges against Bello. He noted that while the matter has not yet been concluded, the EFCC has done its part by ensuring the case is actively before the judiciary.
The EFCC chairman stressed that the determination of guilt lies with the courts, not the anti-graft agency, adding that his earlier vow to resign was tied to whether the case was properly prosecuted. According to him, with charges filed and legal proceedings ongoing, his mandate has been met.
