Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), have finally arrested former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello over alleged misappropriation of funds months after he was declared wanted.
Though there were contradictory reports on the manner of the arrest, Ripples Nigeria gathered that Bello was brought to the Abuja office of the anti-graft agency on Tuesday morning by the state Governor, Usman Ododo, ending months of evading arrest and official stand off, and is currently being grilled by operatives of the commission.
His visit to the commission follows the Supreme Court judgment which dismissed states’ case on the constitutionality of the anti-graft agency.
