The immediate past Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has again reportedly honoured the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over alleged misappropriation of funds.
A statement by his media office confirmed that the former governor went to the EFCC office with his lawyers on Tuesday morning, following the Supreme Court judgment which dismissed states’ case on the constitutionality of the anti-graft agency.
According to the statement Bello drove himself in a black Hilux to the EFCC office with his lawyers.
Recall that at the last hearing on November 14, the EFCC had sought adjournment till November 27 in the fresh case it instituted against Bello, saying that the 30-day window was still running for the summons earlier issued.
Bello on September 18, claimed to have been honoured the EFCC invite amid ongoing investigations.
Reacting to the claim, EFCC denied the claim, reaffirming that Bello still remained a wanted suspect.
