BREAKING: Yahaya Bello Not In EFCC Custody—-Media reports today that a former Governor of Kogi State, Mr. Yahaya Bello is in the holding facility of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is incorrect.
The Commission wishes to state that Bello is not in its custody. Bello, already declared wanted by the Commission for alleged N80.2billion money laundering charges, remains wanted with a subsisting warrant for his arrest.
The EFCC has denied the report that Ex-Kogi state Governor is in their custody as they declared him still WANTED for failing to honour their invitation for alleged N80.2m money laundering charges.
Recall that the Director of the Yahaya Bello Media Office, Ohiare Michael, said he had honoured the invitation of the anti-graft agency on Wednesday.
According to the release, the former governor was accompanied to the EFCC Headquarters by high profile Nigerians.
The Commission had declared Bello wanted after a series of failed attempts to get him arrested over alleged money laundering to the tune of N80 billion.
