According to allegations that surfaced on Wednesday, the EFCC had located Yahaya Bello’s home in Wuse, Abuja. However, Usman Ododo, the governor of Kogi State, stopped the EFCC from apprehending the former governor by visiting Yahaya Bello’s home with a security detail.
According to Sahara Reporters, sources from the EFCC said that there would have been a bloody clash if they had gone head to head with the police officers.
The sources said that they were trying to avoid a bloody clash.
Shedding more light on the incident, one of the sources from the anti-graft commission said that the former governor had deliberately left his home at the Government House in Lokoja, Kogi State, to avoid being tracked by the EFCC, without knowing that the commission was already tracking him through the phone of his aide that he used.
The source said, “Yahaya Bello left his phone at the Government House in Kogi to avoid being tracked to Abuja.
“But the mobile phone of his aide which he used was already being tracked to where he’s now trapped in Abuja.”
Although there is no information available on why the EFCC was trying to arrest the former governor, it is believed that it may be related to the charges of fraud which the EFCC had filed against him.
It should be noted that the anti-graft commission had charged Yahaya Bello with financial fraud to the tune of N84 billion.
Reacting to the incident, Shehu Sani said that Yahaya Bello, nicknamed White Lion, has found himself in the African jungle.
He said, “The White Lion in the African Jungle.” CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
