LATEST : Wanted former Governor Yahaya Bello not in our custody, remains wanted – EFCC
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says the embattled former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, is not in the custody of the anti-graft agency.
In a statement today, Wednesday, EFCC spokesman Dele Oyewale said the ex-governor remains wanted “for alleged N80.2 billion money laundering charges”.
“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 N80.2 billion money laundering charges, remains wanted with a subsisting warrant for his arrest,” Oyewale said.
