A statement on Wednesday by Yahaya Bello’s Media office Director, Ohiare Michael, made available to newsmen stated that Bello ‘willingly” surrendered to the anti-graft agency because the former Kogi governor has great respect for the rule of law and supports President Tinubu’s fight against corruption in the country.”
