The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has revealed that former Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello has been hiding in the state governor’s residence.

EFCC’s Director of Public Affairs, Wilson Uwajaren, disclosed this while featuring on Arise Television’s Morning Show.

Uwajaren said Governor Usman Ododo of Kogi State had to present him to EFCC because he might have seen that he was becoming an accomplice to a crime.

According to Uwajaren: “Before Yahaya Bello arrived at the car park of the EFCC, he had already sent media information across all platforms that he had presented himself before the EFCC and was detained; and that was not true.

“At the time that information got across, Yahaya Bello was not in the premises of the EFCC and he had not arrived there. That for us was an indication that he had a game plan and was not a matter of merely submitting himself to the commission.

“From our review of what really happened, it was a case of the current Governor Ododo being conscious of the fact that he was turning into an accomplice of a crime he probably didn’t know about because all this while Yahaya Bello has been dodging EFCC and stalling proceedings, he had been hiding in Government House in Lokoja. When we made the first attempt to arrest him, it was the same governor that took him away.”

EFCC is currently prosecuting Bello for alleged misappropriation and money laundering worth N80.2bn while he was in office.

Attempts to arrest Bello and make him face probe and prosecution failed as Ododo had stopped the EFCC from apprehending him from his Abuja residence a few months ago.

Last week, Bello stormed EFCC’s office in the company of Bello for questioning but was later released.
