The former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has finally honoured the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over the alleged misappropriation of funds.
A statement by his media office confirmed that the former governor went to the office with his lawyers on Tuesday morning, following the Supreme Court judgment which dismissed the state’s case on the constitutionality of the anti-graft agency.
He drove himself in a black Toyota Hilux to the EFCC office with his lawyers.
Bello went to the anti-graft agency’s office with his lawyers on Tuesday morning.
This followed the Supreme Court judgment which dismissed the suit filed by the states to challenge the constitutionality of the anti-graft agency.
At the last hearing on November 14, the EFCC had sought adjournment till November 27 in the fresh case it instituted against Bello, saying that the 30-day window was still running for the summons earlier issued.
