Yahaya Bello Is The North Central Governor Who Made N60billion Cash Withdrawal From State Coffers–EFCC Sources

An investigation by SaharaReporters has revealed that Yahaya Bello of Kogi State is the governor whom the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) accused of withdrawing N60 billion cash from the coffers of his state.

The anti-graft agency had about a week ago accused a serving Nigerian governor of allegedly withdrawing N60 billion from his state’s purse, saying this was done in about six in office.

The EFCC, however, did not disclose the identity of the governor, but partially identified the governor as domiciling in the North Central region of the country.

But EFCC sources on Monday told SaharaReporters that the agency could authoritatively confirm that the governor accused of withdrawing N60 billion cash from his state’s purse is Yahaya Bello.

Since the hint was given by the EFCC last following which it dominated the media space, SaharaReporters had commenced special investigation into the identity of the affected governor.

Over the weekend, with intelligence and court documents specially obtained by SaharaReporters, the newspaper can authoritatively confirm the affected governor to be Yahaya Bello of Kogi State.

Further investigation by this paper confirmed the amount involved to be N78 billion at the end of the special investigation carried out by the EFCC's newly created Department of Intelligence.

The Kogi State government, in a bid to distract attention from the N29 billion local government fund fixed in a private bank and uncovered by the EFCC, had filed a defamation action against the commission before a Federal High Court.

In response to the action, the EFCC uploaded damning materials in response to the legal action of the state, forcing the state government to request for adjournment at the last hearing.

Abdulrasheed Bawa, the Chairman of the EFCC had said the agency was investigating a serving state governor who had withdrawn more than N60 billion ($146 million) in cash since 2015.

In the latest edition of its in-house magazine called “EFCC Alert”, Bawa was quoted as saying that Nigerians would soon hear more about the developing sleaze story.

“Very soon, Nigerians are going to see some of the things that we are doing. I can tell you for free that the new Department of Intelligence that we have created is working wonders. They have come up with a lot of intelligence.

“In one of them, a governor in a North-Central state within the last six years (one individual) has withdrawn over N60 billion in cash.

“We are looking at all of that, and I assure you that at the end of all of our investigations, Nigerians are going to be briefed of what we are doing behind the scene on cybercrime, politically-exposed persons, as well as engaging government agencies to ensure that we have better processes and procedures on how to do government business.

“We are not setting out to be engaging with people on the pages of newspapers or press conferences. We are working hard trying to see what we can do behind the scenes [to eradicate corruption],” Bawa had said.

The truth is that Yeye Bello is the ideal 100% type of candidate that can win presidential elections in Nigeria. He's a fool, he makes unguarded utterances, he is corrupt and he practices the "right" religion which was created by someone with a low IQ for people with low IQs. In fact, with the exception of maybe the late Yar'Adua, he should even be considered an upgrade on all the other abokis who have ruled this godforsaken land of misfortune.

This guy above me

And the yeye man go soon commot talk say him wan sue EFCC for 40B damage

I heard Aisha is even pregnant for him.

APC ruling members are terribly corrupt

This Bello will not know peace except he drops the Presidential ambition even though he will neither have a party to stand nor get up to 1%of the total vote cast.

This is the kind of country we live in.
A country where thinking rationally is a criminal offense.
A country where criminals are celebrated.
A country where normal is perceived as abnormal.
A country where someone who is neither a pioneer of any profitable idea nor a solution to any major problem is a billionaire.
A country where justice is for the highest bidder.
A country where her Lady Justice is not blind.
A country where stealing what belongs to the masses is tagged as success and celebrated in churches and mosques.
A country with double standards. One for the poor and one for the rich.
A country where human life has no value.
A country where some people are not suppose to work but are suppose to eat.
A country where all her youth talks about is sex, BBN, Bet9ja, Drugs and internet fraud.

Yahaya Bello is a calamity to Kogi State and his only achievement is taking Kogi back to 20 years ago and 20 years of suffering ahead.

It shall never be well with Buhari, Tinubu, INEC, APC and every other person responsible for foisting Yahaya Bello on kogites.

I will not doubt it at all, I also think he is the one responsible for Aisha buhari pregnancy

Uncle Yaya, is Aisha pregnant for you?

What about ikpeazu the kerosene distributor?
How much did he withdraw that has rendered Abia State uselessly useless?

N60bn cash withdrawal?

Sahara reporters think na everyone dumb like them?

I say it again, Kogi remains one of the worst state capital I hv ever seen
