EFCC discloses Yahaya Bello’s withdrawal of $720k from Kogi government’s account to cover his child’s school fees.
The EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, disclosed how former Kogi state Governor Yahaya Bello withdrew $720,000 from government funds to pay his child’s school fees in advance, amidst facing 19 counts of money laundering charges. Despite efforts to execute an arrest warrant, Bello evaded capture, with a stand-off lasting hours at his residence. His absence during a scheduled arraignment prompted his declaration as wanted by the EFCC. Bello’s legal team cited jurisdictional issues and a restraining court order against EFCC’s arrest attempts. The situation underscores challenges in enforcing legal proceedings against high-profile figures and the complexities surrounding corruption allegations in Nigeria.
