A former Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, has, again, honoured the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged misappropriation of funds.
Bello was accompanied to the Abuja headquarters of the EFCC by a team of lawyers on Tuesday morning.
He arrived at the EFCC office in a black Hilux
This development comes in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that upheld the constitutionality of the EFCC’s operations, allowing the agency to proceed with its investigations.
Despite previous speculation regarding his visit, Bello’s media representatives did not provide comments on the matter.
The former governor drove himself in a black Toyota Hilux to the EFCC office with his lawyers.
Bello went to the anti-graft agency’s office with his lawyers on Tuesday morning, 26th November, 2024
At the last hearing on November 14, the EFCC had sought for adjournment till November 27 in the fresh case it instituted against Bello, saying that the 30 days window was still running for the summons earlier issued.
Meanwhile, his co-defendants, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, have been granted administrative bail.
