In an ongoing N10 billion fraud trial, an investigator and other witnesses from Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have told the court they did not obtain statements from Ali Bello, a nephew of former Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello, and his co-defendants under duress. The testimony aims to reinforce the admissibility and credibility of the defendants’ statements amid defense suggestions of coercion. The case forms part of a broader pattern of high-profile EFCC prosecutions that opposition figures argue will not deter political criticism of the government.
