AfriqueCAN: FORMER Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has been declared wanted www.AfriqueCAN.com
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission – EFCC, Thursday said Bello is wanted for an alleged financial crime to the tune of N80.2 billion.
The anti graft agency urged anyone with vital information about the former Kogi governor’s whereabouts to reach the commission or the police.
“Anybody with information as to his whereabouts should report immediately to the Commission or the nearest police Station,” the EFCC said in a Thursday evening post on its Facebook page
The declaration is the latest in the tussle between Bello and the anti-crime agency. The chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was absent earlier in the day at the Federal High Court in Abuja for a suit instituted against him by the EFCC.
This forced Justice Emeka Nwite to adjourn the suit and for substituted service and possible arraignment of Bello for alleged money laundering.
