That former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello had been declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is an established fact.
That the EFCC also said that anybody with useful information about the immediate past governor’s whereabout should report immediately to the commission or the nearest police station, is equally an estalished fact.
Be that as it may be, report reaching us has it that Yahaya Bello’s hiding place has finally been revealed.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) House of Representatives candidate for Dekina/Bassa Federal Constituency, Kogi State in the 2023 election, Austin Okai, has alleged that Yahaya Bello is currently hiding in the State Government House.
Okai, a chieftain of the PDP, in a statement on Friday accused Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo of helping Yahaya Bello evade the EFCC by whisking him away from Benghazi Street Zone 4 in Abuja.
Okai said; “This information was reportedly brought to the President and Commander-in-Chief by the Northern Ethnic Youth Group Assembly (NEYGA).”
“The Attorney General of the Federation also warned Ododo about obstructing justice.”
“It is widely believed that Bello is currently hiding in the Kogi State Government House, where he is being protected by Governor Usman Ododo.”
“The truth remains that Ododo is allegedly being directed by Yahaya Bello from a hidden location.”
For those who don’t know, Yahaya Bello was declared wanted by the anti-graft agency in April, following his inability to appear before Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court, Abuja for his arraignment over alleged N84 billion money laundering.
