Founder of Jehovah Eyes Salvation Ministry, Prophet Godwin Ikuru, has urged the former governor of Kogi State, Mr. Yahaya Bello, to submit himself to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), stating that he need not be scared of the anti-graft agency if he is sure his hands are clean and innocent of the allegations.
It will be recalled that the EFCC has been attempting to arrest the former governor over his alleged involvement in a financial crime amounting to N80.2 billion, but has failed in its attempts. Consequently, the anti-graft agency declared him wanted, urging Nigerians with vital information about his whereabouts to contact the commission or the police.
Prophet Godwin Ikuru gave this counsel on Friday in reaction to the development, emphasizing that the EFCC is not a dragon or python that former Governor Bello should be running away from.
According to the cleric, there is no need for such actions if Bello is confident that his hands are clean, asserting that he should surrender himself to the EFCC to answer the charges against him before the court of law.
“Is the EFCC a dragon? Is the EFCC a python that Yahaya Bello would be running from? If you know that your hands are clean, submit yourself to the EFCC Chairman,” Prophet Ikuru said.

“If you are confident that your hands are clean, submit yourself to the EFCC. Why run?” he queried.
Ikuru expressed his appreciation to the EFCC boss, Mr. Ola Olukoyede, describing him as a man of integrity who, he said, should be supported for his readiness “to represent the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
The cleric also prayed for God’s blessings upon him and all the officers of the commission, as well as all the security agencies across the country.
“I thank the EFCC Chairman so much, and I will continue to pray for him because he is a man of integrity. I will stand by him and pray for him all the time because he has proven that he is ready to work and represent the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he said.
“I want to say to the EFCC Chairman, may God bless you, may God protect you, may God give you everything you need to stand firm. May the Almighty Father protect all EFCC personnel and security agencies across the country. May God bless Kayode and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he prayed.
