(SINL NIGERIA) The Kogi State House of Assembly, has called for the sacking of the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede.
The lawmakers hinged the call on what the Assembly described as the unprofessional handling of the corruption case against the immediate-past Kogi governor, Yahaya Bello.
The legislators, during Monday’s plenary in Lokoja, condemned EFCC’s siege to the Kogi State’s Governor’s Lodge in Abuja, in an attempt to arrest Bello last Wednesday.
Indeed, the lawmakers accused the Olukoyede-led EFCC of attempting to assassinate both Bello and the incumbent Governor Usman Ododo by allegedly firing gunshots during the attempt to arrest Bello in Abuja.
The matter came up for deliberation at plenary on Monday after the lawmaker representing Ankpa 1 State Constituency, Akus Lawal, moved a motion of urgent public importance, which was seconded by the lawmaker representing Ijumu State Constituency, Jacob Olawunmi.
