The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has denied reports that former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello is in its custody.
According to EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale, Bello remains wanted due to allegations of N80.2 billion money laundering charges. A subsisting warrant for his arrest is still in effect.
The EFCC had previously declared Bello wanted, and his status remains unchanged. The commission’s latest statement aims to correct misleading media reports suggesting Bello was in their holding facility.
Bello’s alleged involvement in financial irregularities led to the EFCC’s investigation and subsequent warrant. The commission continues to seek his apprehension to face the charges against him.
