JUST IN: Yahaya Bello whisked away by Ododo — EFCC official

Published by

More drama has continued to trail the trial of the embattled former governor of Kogi, Yahaya Bello by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

A top EFCC official (name withheld), according to Channels Television, said Yahaya Bello was whisked away from his Abuja residence by his successor, Governor Usman Ododo.

This comes after operatives of the anti-graft agency had laid siege to the Wuse Zone 4 residence of the former Kogi governor for most part of Wednesday.

The EFCC had cordoned off the road and entrance to Bello’s residence in an attempt to have him arrested and arraigned for corruption charges on Thursday.
