With the twin investigations ongoing, the former President is now saddled with a heap of cases.

In view of these developments, he was quoted to remark, “I have an open mind and stand ready to support the police investigations to the fullest…. Let the rule of law reign supreme in our democracy”.

The former President who ruled from 2007 to 2018, is being declared “ a suspect” in the ongoing failed coup attempt to overthrow President Bio’s government.
