Yahaya Bello
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, is currently being interrogated by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over an alleged fraud case against him during his tenure as governor of Kogi State.
A source at the EFCC Headquarters disclosed this to NewsOnline Nifgeria on Tuesday.
“He is with us”, the source said, adding the ex-governor is being questioned.
Bello and others were accused before the Federal High Court in Abuja of conspiring in February 2016 to convert N80,246,470,088.88, allegedly obtained through a criminal breach of trust, in violation of Section 18(a) and punishable under Section 15(3) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011, as amended.
The ex-governor has denied the allegation and failed to appear in court despite a bench warrant for his arrest, and an order requiring him to present himself for arraignment.
