On 23rd April, 2024 the member of the Kogi State House of Assembly representing Okura constituency, Enema Paul, while reacting to the recent rift between the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and the former Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello revealed that he was surprised when he heard a senior lawyer to EFCC inviting the military in a civil case.
According to TheCable, the member of the Kogi State House of Assembly representing Okura constituency, Enema Paul said "Why is EFCC in a haste? Nigeria is not a banana republic. I was surprised to hear a senior lawyer to EFCC inviting the military in a civil case. Have the police and DSS failed? I think the EFCC should look at their lawyer. The man they declared wanted is also in the appeal court with them. Declaring him wanted, I think EFCC has a lot of questions to answer. We don’t want the military to rule this country, and somebody is dragging us back to the olden days.”
On the other hand, the Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, Aliyu Umar Yusuf urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that they should not to allow themselves to become a tool of political vendetta, blackmail, or intimidation against any individual through personal grudges.
