The guy is in another level my brother I can listen to him all day

[@FlorenceElu]

Command of English is not noteworthy. It is a foreign man's language. More than his English, praise his great interview skills.

Speaking English shouldn't be a big deal after all, the Whites are extremely bad speaking our own languages. Na colonial mentality dey worry una.

[@emmanueladeyosoye3607]

I agree and he was at the CNN he has good grounding

[@user-Whiteshadow]

EFCC should go ahead and continue to convict these corrupt people in the society whether politicians, celebrities or yahoo boys. Let the law be applied evenly across board. That’s how to get ur credibility back. Very fast. Nigerians will even sing their praises.

EFCC should put its house in order.

Usman Okai. We see you. Keep fighting for us.

[@gilbertkalu7293]

Mr Okai is making sense. Why will a court of law say some one will not be prosecuted in the court of law. It is only in Nigeria the criminal enterprise. Nigerians should rise and take back their country from the criminals dishing out all these problems.

[@beyourbest5253]

@Gilbert... I stand with you...

[@princebms1234]

If there was a formal invitation from EFCC to Yahaya Bello, the court wouldn't have given the order Bello sought for. But looking for Bello without a FORMAL INVITATION, any court will honour Bello's request, in protection of fundamental right.

[@dimcugo]

@@princebms1234 Leave all these people that are crying emotional cry hear. Bello will go scot free. All these they are acting is Drama. Why do you announce your arrest. What do you expect Bello to do? The guy have played fast on them.

[@Bob-wq7lf]

@@dimcugo Bello will be prosecuted, it’s up to the court to convict. Conviction rate is low b/c of the corrupt judiciary. The case is not gonna be tried in kogi state where all the judges are Bello’s appointees. And I wonder why you don’t want Bello to defend himself of the allegations against him. Are you happy about the looting going on in Nigeria and the state of Nigerian economy?. It’s unfathomable that you don’t want Bello to defend himself and clear his name.

[@bankabearts]

Some of the people shouting corruption are the ones defending Yahaya Bello again....the pressmen, politicians, and their supporters didn't see anything wrong with the payment of a child's school fees in advance with state funds. We are not ready for any change yet.

Are you sure he is mumuing? How many politicians have been prosecuted and adequately convicted? I guess the problem of Nigeria is somewhere in the judiciary. Our judicial system is wack.

[@Wargee4978]

Are you sure Oshoma is mumu or you are the one dancing to the drum set of showmanship EFCC is playing for Nigerian? This guy is educating Nigerians that they are playing us for a fool and instead of you rejoicing to his freedom for you, you chose to remain in captivity and insult your Saviour. Only God can help you now

[@Wargee4978]

[@cyberspyking3306]

@Wargee4978 you too you're a mumu the way you're talking cos can't you see for yourself, you need another mumu to educate you. It's just like I tell you you're a thief and then you tell me I use to lie...yes I know I use to lie but you're shifting the blame from yourself and accusing me of something just to take blame away from you.....yes I know efcc does a lot of wrong and I know we youths hate efcc but it doesn't change the fact that bello stole from kogi people for 8years, never paid us salary in full and should be prosecuted and convicted...... I wonder how you are defending the thief against the people trying to stop him just because one mumu man is telling you balls on arise tv

[@reality4real386]

[@marcussoluzano4459]

The reason why Nigeria has been so corrupt and backward bcoz of a corrupt lawyers like Liborous Oshoma. It's very disheartening

[@Wargee4978]

Do you understand what principles, theories, logics, constitutions, laws etc are all about? Okpai is blabbing, speaking like a layman. All is blabbing will not help in the court of law, the result of ignorance is suffering from what the knowledge needed will bring. Oshoma is educating us and opening our mind to the game that they are playing but instead you see him as the bad one. Use your brain

[@Bob-wq7lf]

@@dimcugo He said it all. There’s nothing illegal in what EFCC did and are doing. Tell your guy Bello to come out of his hiding place and defend himself of the allegations against him. No one is above the law. Why should any Nigerian obtain a court order to bar law enforcement officers from arresting, investigating and prosecuting him?. Why?, if the person do not have anything to hide. Why should a court issue such order in the first place?. That tantamount to awarding total immunity to someone. Why?, why?, why?. You are defending a man who allegedly stole kogi state blind. The sad thing is that u maybe from kogi state and unemployed. Pathetic.

[@johnsonolaoye9281]

I don't know where they Nigeria get all these gbegiri and ewedu lawyers like this one that spoke first.

[@leo-ken]

Thank you Liborous Oshoma for this your honest opinion about EFCC Chairmen and their modus operandi. We have 2 tribes in Nigeria, those who love integrity, honesty and good governance and those who are corrupt by default and enjoy fraudulent activities. It's just unfortunate that we are just deceiving ourselves in the name of fighting corruption!

[@ferdinandigwilo6992]

I can tell you for free, this man is not competent for this position.He lacks the requisite experience to be in that position following his utterances.

[@user-zb3os3dz7s]

Oshoma, your submission is totally wrong. Imagine your self In position as EFCC boss handling these criminals politicians in Nigeria what will you do differently? I commend EFCC chairman for doing right, is not easy to handle these criminals politicians in Nigeria.

[@naija_ng]

His submission is not wrong at all. He is clearly educating the public on the loopholes that the EFCC creates in the way they handle cases. Watch again and hear him well. He wants these corrupt people convicted and not just prosecuted, because the EFCC's prosecutions, too many times, lead to failure in conviction.

[@francisahanotu1181]

The new efcc boss is doing a great job. May God bless him.and whoever supporting the yaya Bello is evil.

[@isaiahotumobo3096]

I have always said it that EFCC officials are not showing any signs of professionalism..

[@olanrewajuadedeji6762]

All these lawyers are the problem of Nigeria. They interpret the law to suit their narratives. For EFCC to call yaya bello and give him honor to call him, he should have come to the EFCC. Blaming EFCC boss at this time for honoring Yaya bello to come and explain the cases agsinst him is not fair enough. Even u laborah, police give u honor of invitation if need be hence pretending that honoring VIPs in Nigeria is a new thing. Please these lawyers should stop this false narratives and allow Yaya Bello to pick him up.

[@AdamOsa]

Why is one of the lawyers using the word Back Door?

When lawyers and judges become criminals protectors by fooling the masses by deliberately misinterpreting law you know the system is in ICU. Oshoma is soliciting for job from Yaya Bello.

The EFCC did not extend a "backdoor" invitation. Mr. Lawyer, you have deliberately and dubiously refused to understand the context to why it was said. Too bad.

[@johnkampos2331]

Can U that understand the context tell us what the context is cos for me the efcc chairman just told the world he gave respect to a man his organisation has accused of stealing that he can bring him through the back gate straight to his office to be interviewed...to me that is a back door invitation and in sane normal society that comment would warrant that efcc good to resign cos that is not the proper procedure.... So kindly educate us on the context... Cos the law says every body is equal in the eyes of the law...

[@obehiokojie4066]

Mr. Okai, you have the right to be mad at what is happening in your state. Many may not understand the pain in your heart until they visit Kogi state. Kogi is a glorified village. Nothing meaningful is going on there despite the huge potential of the state in terms of natural resources and tourist potentials. A responsible governor will lobby the federal govt to do something about the Ajaokuta Steel, a project that could transform the entire state. No, he instead was busy stealing the state's fund.

[@oceanologure2032]

The truth of the matter both of them have sound views.. The security operatives have their faults and in the other side no court other should stop his arrest.. They both spoke well. My question is to the legal system of the country...What was his statement of submission to the court why needed a court other to stop his arrest? Did his lawyers in their written statements never mention that EFCC was coming after him for arrest to judge's that granted the other? The judicial system of our country are more curupt than the morden day politicians in the country..

[@eimienwanlanibhagui4859]

No documentary evidence of invitation but there is oral or voice evidence. Get issue a court warrant to the communication company [Airtel, Glo, or MTN] to validate the phone conversation. So, I dare say there is "telephone evidence" which subsists even though it is known that documentary evidence is superior.

[@obehiokojie4066]

What is Liborous saying? I do not understand. What do they expect of the EFCC chairman? He does this, and he is accused. He does that, and he is accused. He gave some leeway to Bello for some preferential treatment to come in for interrogation( even though this is wrong). Liborous and Onokpasa should be appointed as chairmen and directors of the EFCC, let's see what they will do. Nonsense! Who does not know that Bello stole Kogi dry. This is why I love Obj. If it were in his era, he would have given the EFCC the resources to go and bundle him out wherever he is hiding. When these politicians steal, they show no regard for the law or constitution; but when they are to be prosecuted, they start exploring legal technicalities to be shielded from the same law and constitution they so willfully disregarded and raped.
