*Frowns against withdrawal of security details

As the manhunt for the immediate past governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaha Bello intensifies over alleged money laundering, youth of Ebiraland under the aegis of Ebiraland Youths Coalition has called on the federal government of Nigeria to ensure that nothing sinister happens to him.

The youth in a  statement today signed by its coordinator, Mr Fache Moses, said that some people in high places conniving with other ethnic bigots from Kogi state are working tirelessly not only to put the former governor’s life on line  but also to ridicule the entire people of Ebiraland land.

They said the simultaneous actions of the DSS and Police to withdraw the security guards of the former governor, not minding the subsisting Court order restraining EFCC from arresting him is clear indication of connivance of powerful people who possibly want  Bello eliminated by all means.

“The action of the Police and DSS has now made the former governor vulnerable and the youths of our land will be left with no other options than to defend our own even if it’s with our bear hands if the harassment continues unabated.”said the youth from Kogi central.

The statement called on President Bola Tinubu to rise to the occasion to stop the unwarranted harassment of the former governor by EFCC which itself is a creation of the law.

It noted that if the commission felt dissatisfied with the restraining order given to the former governor by the state high court, it could use all available legal means available to it to vacate the order rather than engaging in its current shameful actions.

The coalition also advised  youth of the other ethnic groups in the state to be mindful of how they use social media to malign Yahaya Bello and his ethnic group, nothing that their actions are capable of truncating the peace we currently enjoy in the state.

The statement reminded the youths of Kogi East in particular of the role played by youths of Central when Former Governor Abubakar Audu was brought to court in handcuffs by the EFCC after he left office.

It said the youth of Central believe  that the humiliation by EFCC was a slap on the collective sensibility of the people of the state and they mobilized to protest right before them and that made the arraignment almost impossible at that time.

They, therefore, cautioned that if some Kogi East youth are now taking to Social Media to celebrate Bello’s ordeal and maligning Ebira people, that put their sense of appreciation into question on them with its repercussions.
