Former Kogi State governorship candidate Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has charged Yahaya Bello with orchestrating both the Kuje Prison Break and the massacre at the Owo Church.
According to Natasha, the governor released hardened criminals from various prisons across the nation, particularly those from Ebira.
She asserted that one of these prisoners, Safiyu, was used by the governor to commit the Kuje Prison break and the Owo massacre.
Speaking on Friday’s episode of Arise Television’s Morning Show, Kogi Central PDP senatorial candidate Akpoti said, “I was in California because I left the day after my primary election and I only returned to Nigeria on the 20th of August.
“And at the time of these attacks [Kuje prison Owo], Safiyu was with Yahaya Bello. He was in the Government House every day.
“He was living in the house of the Chief of Staff. So if anybody should be held responsible for the Owo massacre and Kuje Prison break it should be Yahaya Bello that should have questions to answer in conjunction with the chief of staff himself because they released him from prison for God knows what.
“I even got to know that Chaffeu was on death row. I happened to know he was a hardened criminal on death row but Bello freed him just before the 2019 election. Why he was freed and the nature of his freedom is left for Yahaya Bello to explain.
“On how a governor could release a prisoner in a federal prison, Akpoti said, “That’s one thing with Yahaya Bello. He knows how to get the ills done using the network.
“I’m actually surprised at how he could have such powers. He has also gone around the prisons in the country releasing hardened Ebira prisoners. People from our own tribe.
“This is why we have such a high rate of criminality in Nigeria. I got to know that a few months ago, the governor called on Safyu again to carry out a series of attacks,” she alleged.
