This is the moment operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), attempted to arrest the immediate past governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, at the State governor’s lodge in Asokoro, Abuja
Sporadic gunshots were heard last night, Wednesday, Sept. 18, during the attempted arrest.
Recall EFCC had declared Bello wanted for allegedly laundering N80.2 billion. The commission’s move followed a 19-count charge filed against him.
The attempted arrest was, however, met with resistance from security operatives at the lodge, leading to a standoff.
Sources indicated that Bello subsequently left the lodge in Ododo’s company.
Bello’s media office, in a statement by Director, Ohiare Michael, condemned the attempted arrest as needless and ‘Gestapo-like,’ arguing that Bello had cooperated with the commission by reporting voluntarily.
