Former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has again honoured the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged misappropriation of FUNDS during his tenure as governor.
Sources said Bello went to the EFCC office with his lawyers on Tuesday morning and not with the current Governor of Kogi State, Usman Ododo as he did the last time.
His appearance follows a recent Supreme Court judgment which dismissed some states’ challenge to the constitutionality of the anti-graft agency.
Reports say the former Governor drove himself in a black hilux to the EFCC office with his lawyers.
There were insinuations last week that he was going to visit the EFCC but the former governor’s media aides did not respond to enquiries on the information.
At the last hearing on November 14, the EFCC had sought for adjournment to tomorrow (November 27) in the fresh case it instituted against Bello, saying the 30 days window was still running for the summons earlier issued.
The EFCC, however, admitted his co-defendants, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, to administrative bail and prayed the court for extension of time for the 1st Defendant to appear.
