Leaked Chat Exposes Alleged Bribery Attempt by Yahaya Bello, Implicates Fanwo in Kogi Controversy

The 2023 People Democratic Party, PDP, candidate for Dekina/Bassa Federal House of Representatives, Usman Okai, has publicly denounced the former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, for attempting to bribe a judge, as revealed in leaked WhatsApp conversations involving the state’s Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, and others.

Okai criticized Fanwo for his involvement in corrupt practices within the state, urging him to remain silent and issue an apology for his role in attempting to manipulate the justice system with monetary incentives.

According to Okai, Fanwo’s denial of any wrongdoing is futile, as the leaked group chat has exposed his true intentions and his close ties to those seeking power in Kogi state.
