Former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, is currently in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged misappropriation of funds. According to reports, EFCC operatives are interrogating Bello, although it’s unclear whether he was arrested or voluntarily drove to the EFCC office with his lawyers.
This development comes after the EFCC sought an adjournment until November 27 in a fresh case against Bello, citing a 30-day window for the summons to take effect. Bello is facing multiple charges, including an 18-count charge bordering on money laundering to the tune of N80.2 billion.
He is also facing a 16-count charge for allegedly conspiring to convert the sum of N80,246,470,088.88, which is believed to be part of the proceeds of his unlawful activity
