Bello, who has repeatedly failed to appear in court despite being summoned, was declared wanted by the EFCC following unsuccessful attempts to arrest him. The Nigerian Immigration Service has also placed him on a watchlist.
Responding to inquiries about the delay in Bello’s arrest, Okim expressed frustration, suggesting that powerful figures might be shielding the ex-governor from justice. He emphasized the need for collective responsibility in addressing such cases, stating, “The shame is on all of us, not just me.”
Okim criticized the lack of action from Bello’s colleagues and government officials, questioning why they haven’t intervened to urge him to face the charges. He stressed the moral obligation of public figures to uphold the law and maintain Nigeria’s reputation, lamenting the erosion of ethical standards in the face of legal challenges.
The EFCC official highlighted the symbolic importance of Bello’s case, arguing that it transcends legalities to encompass broader societal values. He urged the media to play a constructive role in shaping public opinion and influencing ethical conduct among political leaders.
In response, Churchill Oyowe, Chairman of the NUJ Delta State Council, pledged support from journalists in upholding transparency and accountability in governance.
