As supporters, we caution the anti-graft not to continue to held in custody even when he has met all the bail conditions,  instead refer the matter to the court of law as it’s the only destination for the common man.

It noted with regret, that the travails of the former FCT minister is link to politics attributed to his good track records saying it demonstrate the implementation of script in favour of the masters.

The group maintained that, Bala was not arrested as said in some quarters, but personally went to the EFCC office on invitation and urged mischief-makers to shut-up by not heating the polity.
