N80bn fraud: Fresh drama as EFCC operatives storm Kogi Govt Lodge to arrest Yahaya Bello

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) operatives on Wednesday night laid siege to the Kogi Government Lodge in Asokoro, Abuja, to arrest ex-Governor Yahaya Bello.

The drama surrounding the ex-governor’s case with the EFCC continued on Wednesday morning when the Director of his Media Team, Ohiare Michael, said in a statement he had honoured the commission’s invitation months after he was declared wanted for alleged N80.2 billion fraud.

Michael said Bello’s decision to appear before the anti-graft agency came after consultations with his family, legal team, and political associates.
