The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has confirmed the detention of former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello over allegations of misappropriation of funds, News360 Nigeria reports.

Dele Oyewale, EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, disclosed to journalists on Tuesday that Bello was arrested at the commission’s headquarters in Jabi, Abuja, by a team of operatives.

“Yes, he (Yahaya Bello) was arrested today around 12:54 PM, together with three of his lawyers. He is having a session with our investigators and is now in our custody,” Oyewale said, confirming the development.

The former governor, who arrived at the EFCC office with his legal team earlier in the day, had been declared wanted by the commission on April 18, 2024, in connection with an alleged N80.2 billion money laundering case.

Sources indicate that Bello is being held for further investigation following his alleged failure to honor previous invitations. His co-defendants, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, were earlier granted administrative bail, while the EFCC sought an extension for Bello’s court summons during a November 14 hearing.

Bello is expected to be arraigned in court on Wednesday, marking a significant step in the ongoing investigation.

Is this information coming directly from EFCC?

If not, it’s going to be another hogwash like the first one where he was said to be detained but wasn’t.

But EFCC is really all bark without bite. How is it so difficult to arrest an ordinary citizen who is no longer a governor. What a shame

Yahaya Bello was a better Governor than Peter Obi .

*Yahaya Bello built Two Brand New Universities, Peter Obi never built a classroom as Governor

* Yahaya Bello built World Class Hospitals, Peter Obi never built a ward

* Yahaya Bello built Flyover in State Capital, Lokoja, Peter Obi left Awka as a village

Should I continue.....

Believe me outside the few weeks in EFCC detention and few weeks in jail before bail is granted nothing would happen to him and this case would drag for years to come

We already know how this matter will end. Bello will not even go to jail.

I hate getting involved in political discourse at this moment as far as Nigerian Politics is concerned

80 billion naira my foot. Okowa was 1.3 trillion and your useless EFCC granted him an administrative bail.
Believe EFCC at your own peril.
