JUST IN: EFCC MAKES ATTEMPT TO ARREST YAHAYA BELLO AT KOGI GOVERNOR’S LODGE ABUJA
Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) are presently making an attempt to arrest former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, at the Kogi State Governor’s lodge at the Asokoro District in the Federal Capital Territory
However, there appear to be some resistance by security operatives at the Governor’s Lodge as gunshots rented the air during the altercation.
The entire area has been cordoned off and movements around that area have also been restricted to only operatives of the EFCC and other security agencies stationed there.
This is the latest on what has turned out to be a rollercoaster of events surrounding Yahaya Bello, who has been on the wanted list of the EFCC for having allegedly laundered N8.2 billion.
