Adoke Distances Self From Statement Supporting Yahaya Bello

Mohammed Bello Adoke, who served as the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), has denied releasing any statement in support of Yahaya Bello, a former Governor of Kogi state.

Gatekeepers News reports that there was recently a write-up credited to Adoke on social media which argued that Bello is not guilty of the corruption allegations against him until a court rules on the case.

The viral post also claimed that there is a court order restraining the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from arresting or harassing Bello.

The post read: “It’s baffling to see people who knows (sic) nothing about it all, writing long notes and making mockery of their sense of fair judgement and critical analysis on what they know nothing about.

“GYB is not guilty until found guilty. Stop passing judgment in your bedroom court, the constitution does not recognize it and will never do.”

On Sunday, Adoke however distanced himself from the viral post during an interview with TheCable.
