The video of supporters of former governor Yahaya Bello engaging in rituals to prevent his arrest by the EFCC has caused a stir on social media. Shared by user Imran Muhammad, the footage captures the supporters chanting in the Igbira language, purportedly invoking spiritual protection for Bello amid legal challenges.
Facing 19 counts of money laundering, including misappropriating N80 billion, Bello's legal woes have escalated since leaving office. The video has sparked a debate online, with many questioning the efficacy of such rituals and expressing frustration over corruption allegations.
Meanwhile, Bello's supporters remain steadfast, showcasing their unwavering loyalty despite the mounting legal pressure. Nigerian netizens have voiced a mix of reactions, with some dismissing the rituals as futile and others condemning corruption in governance.
One commenter from Kogi state expressed disappointment in fellow citizens, highlighting the need for accountability and justice, while another criticized the diversion of attention from pressing national issues.
