UPDATE: EFCC Finally Arrests Former Kogi Governor, Yahaya Bello 

A former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has finally been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over alleged misappropriation of funds.

Bello was immediately arrested after he honoured the invitation of the anti-graft agency over alleged misappropriation of funds during his time in office.

Bello went to the office with his lawyers on Tuesday morning, following the Supreme Court judgment which dismissed states’ case on the constitutionality of the anti-graft agency.

The former Governor drove himself in a black hilux to the EFCC office with his lawyers.

At the last hearing on November 14, the EFCC had sought for adjournment till November 27 in the fresh case it instituted against Bello, saying that the 30 days window was still running for the summons earlier issued.
