The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday alleged that some powerful Nigerian politicians are shielding the former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello , who was accused of N80.2bn fraud.
recalls that the anti-graft agency had declared Yahaya Bello wanted following his inability to honor its invitation. He was declared wanted after a failed attempt to arrest him and his repeated absence from court for arraignment. The Nigerian Immigration Service also placed the former governor on a watchlist. When asked why the EFCC had yet to arrest Bello weeks after he was declared wanted, an EFCC official claimed that the ex-governor was being shielded by the system.
