Former Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has mobilized hundreds of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Abuja to protest against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The protesters, mostly IDPs, have gathered in Area One and are currently blocking Area Three Road, causing a significant disruption to traffic and daily activities in the area.
According to eyewitnesses, the protesters are carrying placards and banners with messages criticizing the EFCC and its actions against Yahaya Bello. The former governor has been embroiled in a legal battle with the EFCC over allegations of corruption and financial misconduct during his time in office.
It is unclear how the IDPs were mobilized for this protest, but sources suggest that they may have been promised financial compensation or other forms of support in exchange for their participation. The use of vulnerable individuals, including IDPs, for political gain has raised ethical concerns and sparked debate about the exploitation of displaced persons for political purposes.”
