The incumbent governor of Kogi state, Usman Ododo, has visited his predecessor, Yahaya Bello, amidst a heavy security crackdown on the former governor’s Abuja home by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission .
Ododo arrived at Bello’s residence at about 2:30 pm Wednesday, alongside several security operatives and supporters protesting against the siege to the former governor’s home.EFCC operatives had on Wednesday morning stormed Bello’s Abuja home located in Wuse Zone 4, in the Nigerian capital. The EFCC had earlier dragged Yahaya Bello, his nephew Ali, one Dauda Sulaiman, and Abdulsalam Hudu before Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, in an amended charge in March 2024 over an alleged N84bn money laundering.
Reacting to the development, the ex-governor’s media office, in a statement, condemned the operatives’ actions while urging President Bola Tinubu to caution the EFCC.VIDEO: EFCC siege on Yahaya Bello's residence, governor Ododo to the rescue, arrives at the former governor's residence in Abuja pic.twitter.com/CN7ZVGJNC3
