Yahaya Bello Still Wanted – EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has denied reports that the immediate past Governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello is in its custody.

The commission denial is contained in a statement signed by its Head, Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale on Tuesday.

The statement reads:

“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 N80.2billion money laundering charges, remains wanted with a subsisting warrant for his arrest.”
