Breaking: Yahaya Bello to meet EFCC officials in Abuja over money laundering allegations
The immediate-past Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, is set to meet with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Abuja in the coming days to address ongoing allegations of fraud.
According to a source within the EFCC, Bello, who has been a fugitive since April following a failed attempt by the commission to arrest him at his Abuja residence, is expected to submit himself to the agency.
“We are expecting him to submit himself any time from now. His people reached out to us saying he is now ready to honour our invitation,” the EFCC insider told The Will.
Former Governor Bello faces a 16-count charge of money laundering offenses totaling ₦110,446,470,89.00.
Since going underground in April, Bello has evaded capture, intensifying the drama surrounding his legal battles.
Justice Maryanne Anenih of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Maitama had previously directed that a hearing notice be served to Bello following his repeated failure to appear for arraignment.
On Thursday, November 14, Justice Anenih ordered that the hearing notice be affixed to Bello’s residence at No. 9 Benghazi Street, Wuse Zone 4, Abuja, and displayed on the court’s notice board.
Although the summons expired on November 17, the EFCC requested an adjournment to provide Bello with additional time to respond, granting 30 days for his appearance.
