Dele Momodu Criticizes EFCC’s Handling Of Alleged N80.2bn Fraud Case Against Yahaya Bello
Renowned journalist Dele Momodu has raised concerns over the approach of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in the ongoing case involving former Kogi governor, Yahaya Bello.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Momodu expressed his belief that the EFCC’s investigation into Bello lacked proper due diligence. During an Instagram Live session, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart questioned the commission’s assertion that Bello utilized government funds to prepay his children’s school fees before the end of his tenure.
He criticized the EFCC’s conduct in attempting to prosecute Bello, suggesting that the commission’s Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, should have learned from the experiences of his predecessors who faced disgraceful exits.
Momodu emphasized the importance of adhering to the rule of law and conducting investigations meticulously and professionally. He suggested that media trials were unnecessary.
Responding to a question about whether the EFCC was being truthful about Bello, Momodu remarked that from his perspective, the EFCC had erred in its investigation, failing to perform adequate due diligence.
He highlighted discrepancies in the EFCC’s claims, noting that records indicated the alleged payments for Bello’s children’s school fees began in 2021 and 2022, contrary to the commission’s assertions.
The EFCC had accused Bello and three others of involvement in a money laundering scheme totaling N80.2 billion during his tenure as governor. Olukoyede specifically alleged that Bello withdrew $720,000 to cover his children’s educational expenses before leaving office—a claim vehemently denied by the former governor.

A former security guard, 22-year-old Sodeinde Olajuwon Phillips, has confessed to his involvement in the murder of Olakitan Ibiyola Oyesiku, a retired Ogun State broadcaster widely known as Aunty Kitan. The 67-year-old Oyesiku, who had retired from Ogun State Television, was killed along with her current security guard, Pelumi Adetayo, at her residence in Agodo village, Kobape, Abeokuta.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The investigation into the deaths was spearheaded by the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, who revealed that a crucial handwritten note found at the scene played a pivotal role in leading detectives to the suspects.
“We met her lying, facing upward to the sky, and we saw a paper, a note on her chest, and we equally found the same paper differently spread on the table in the living room,” Ojajuni stated. He further explained, “We discovered that the one that was met on her chest, the handwriting was totally different from the others that were spread.”
The use of intelligence gathering and technical tracking enabled the police to recover the deceased’s Lexus RX 330 and subsequently arrest three suspects. They were identified as Olajuwon (the former employee), 27-year-old Sakirudeen Abdulraheem Ayoola, and 36-year-old Sobu Obafunsho.
A Tragic Motive: Money for Rent and Perceived Unfair Pay Upon questioning, Olajuwon provided a detailed and disturbing account of why the attack was orchestrated. He explained that a primary motive was the need for money to secure new housing for himself and Ayoola.
“My name is Sodeinde Olajuwon Phillips, and I am 22 years old. Myself, Shakirudeen and Sobu participated in the robbery and killing,” he confessed. He further elaborated, “We did it because she did not pay us well when we worked for her.”
Describing the robbery, Olajuwon recounted: “Shakirudeen and I needed more money to rent an apartment. So, we wore masks, forced the security guard to ring the bell, and after gaining entry, the security guard was taken back to his post.”
Following the attack, the group stole Oyesiku’s vehicle. Olajuwon detailed their escape, saying, “We left with her vehicle. Shakirudeen drove the car while we left together. We collected it from her before she died and drove to Onikolobo. I alighted under the bridge and went straight home, while Shakirudeen drove away with the vehicle.”
The stolen Lexus RX 330 was later recovered by the police in proximity to Olajuwon’s residence. The investigators found that the vehicle’s license plates had been removed and concealed under one of the seats.
