How Gov. Ododo Helped Yahaya Bello Escape Our Watch – EFCC | Read Details
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Wednesday, failed to arrest former governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state ahead of his scheduled arraignment on Thursday.
EFCC operatives had laid siege at Bello’s Abuja residence blocking all the entrance and exit.
However, his godson, governor Usman Ododo who arrived with his convoy, whisked Bello away to an unknown location.
Trustbase News had reported that Bello will be arraigned before Justice Emeka Nwite of the federal high court in Abuja alongside three other suspects, Ali Bello, Dauda Suleiman and Abdulsalam Hudu on 19- count charges bordering on money laundering to the tune of N80, 246, 470, 088.88 (Eighty Billion, Two Hundred and Forty Six Million, Four Hundred and Seventy Thousand and Eight Nine Naira, Eighty Eight Kobo).
