The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria has urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to conclude its investigations into former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello. HURIWA called for prosecution where sufficient evidence exists and emphasized the importance of transparency and adherence to the law.
The association cited allegations related to the management of funds received during Okowa and Bello's tenures, including concerns about the 13% derivation fund from the Federation Account and investments in a floating liquefied natural gas project. HURIWA stressed that political office should not shield anyone from lawful investigation or prosecution, urging the EFCC to pursue the cases transparently and through the courts.
