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.

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.
