Yahaya Bello: Kogi assembly demands removal of EFCC chairman, says he’s incompetent
The Kogi State Assembly has called on president Bola Tinubu to sack the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ola Olukoyede,
The assembly said Olukoyede is incompetent and tyrannical, claiming that there were attempts to kill the former governor of the state, Yahaya Bello, which they see as a threat to the current governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo.
They accused the anti-graft agency of attacking the governor’s lodge unprovoked and suggested the EFCC is acting as if it were above the law.
The lawmakers at a plenary on Monday expressed their strong disapproval of EFCC’s “unjustified assault” on the Kogi State Government Lodge, describing it as an insult to Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo and the Kogi people.

Aliyu Yusuf, while delivering the House’s resolution, said: “The House formally categorises the April 17 and September 18 incidents as assassination attempts on the former governor, and by extension, a threat to the life of Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo.
“The unprovoked attack on the Governor’s Lodge and the firing of live rounds within a diplomatic residential zone further demonstrate that the EFCC has fully marinated in a sense of its own importance and power and now considers itself not only above the law but unanswerable to anyone or institution for its actions.
“Because the EFCC Chairman has shown constantly gross incompetence, the House has resolved that the President should relieve him of his appointment with immediate effect and replace him with a competent officer who will give Mr President’s crusade for the rule of law the needed effectiveness.”
