 Anakogi state government has accused political actors of orchestrating a witch hunt to destroy the image of Farmer Governor Lahaji Yahya Bello. The state government claims that the EFCC is using its privileges for political vendetta and that the charges against Bello are false and far from the truth. The government has called on President Chinabu to order a special probe into the situation in Kogi state before the EFCC is used as a hired gun by political hawks. The Kogi government believes in transparency, accountability and property in line with the trend from 2016.
