EFCC Vs Yahaya Bello: Ex-gov goes back into hiding
The fresh drama that surfaced on Wednesday between the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and a former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, is yet to find a landing spot, Daily Trust reports.
The development followed the EFCC operatives’ failure to arrest the ‘wanted’ immediate past helmsman of the Confluence State on Wednesday night when they surrounded the state government’s lodge located in Asokoro in the nation’s capital where Bello was hiding.
Before Wednesday night, when the gun-wielding anti-graft operatives laid siege to the lodge, the former governor claimed that he had finally honoured the invitation of the EFCC over some allegations, arguing that he had nothing to hide.
Our correspondent, who is monitoring the development as it unfolds, confirmed that Bello had since returned to the State Government House in Lokoja, Kogi State capital, where he had been hiding before he came to Abuja to “honour EFCC invitation”.
