The EFCC has denied the story going rounds that former Kodago state governor Yahaya Bello has honoured the commissions invitation.
A statement by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission signed by Dele Oyewale, Head, Media & Publicity disclosed that the story is incorrect.
The statement reads:
“Media reports today that a former Governor of Kogi State, Mr. Yahaya Bello is in the holding facility of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is incorrect. The Commission wishes to state that Bello is not in its custody”
“Bello, already declared wanted by the Commission for alleged N80.2billion money laundering charges, remains wanted with a subsisting warrant for his arrest”.
