The unfolding drama between the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and Yahaya Bello, the former governor of Kogi State, continues to escalate, with no resolution in sight.
Bello had earlier claimed to have honoured the EFCC’s invitation, maintaining that he had nothing to hide. “If not because of his successor, a sitting governor that is providing him cover, we would have arrested him since,” an EFCC detective told Daily Trust. The EFCC, led by its chairman Ola Olukoyede, has been cautious in its approach due to legal considerations, particularly Governor Ododo's immunity.
Bello's legal team has consistently denied the allegations, asserting his innocence and claiming that he has cooperated with all legal proceedings.
