Former State Gov in EFCC custody (Photo)

Report reaching the OsunReporters News confirmed that former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has been in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged misappropriation of funds.

According to reports, he went to the office with his lawyers on Tuesday and not with the current Governor of Kogi State, Usman Ododo.

____This followed the Supreme Court judgment which dismissed states’ case on the constitutionality of the anti-graft agency.

____It was also reliably gathered that 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 adjournment to Wednesday, November 27 in the fresh case it instituted against Bello, saying the 30-day 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 to the court for an extension of time for the 1st Defendant to appear.(Channels TV)
