EFCC,Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has claimed that a former Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, is not in its custody.
This was confirmed in a statement on Wednesday, signed by the EFCC spokesman Dele Oyewale.
Oyewale said the ex-governor remains wanted “for alleged N80.2billion money laundering charges”.
“Media reports today that a former Governor of Kogi State, Mr. Yahaya Bello is in the holding facility of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is incorrect.
“The Commission wishes to state that Bello is not in its custody.
“Bello, already declared wanted by the Commission for alleged N80.2billion money laundering charges, remains wanted with a subsisting warrant for his arrest,” Oyewale said.
