JUST IN: EX-KOGI GOV, YAHAYA BELLO PRESENTS SELF TO EFCC
Former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has again honoured the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged misappropriation of funds.
Sources close to the EFCC say that he went to the office with his lawyers on Tuesday and not with the current Governor of Kogi State, Usman Ododo.
This followed the Supreme Court judgment, which dismissed the states’ case on the constitutionality of the anti-graft agency.
It was reliably gathered that the former governor drove himself in a black Hilux to the EFCC office with his lawyers.
There were insinuations last week that he was going to visit the EFCC, but the former governor’s media aides did not respond to enquiries on the information.
At the last hearing on November 14, the EFCC had sought adjournment to Wednesday, November 27 in the fresh case it instituted against Bello, saying the 30-day window was still running for the summons earlier issued.
The EFCC, however, admitted his co-defendants, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, to administrative bail and prayed to the court for an extension of time for the 1st Defendant to appear.
