The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has dismissed media reports claiming that former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello is in its custody earlier today.
The Commission confirmed that Bello is not currently held in its facility in a press statement posted on the agency’s official Facebook page moments ago.
Bello is wanted by the EFCC on allegations of money laundering involving N80.2 billion, and a warrant for his arrest remains active. The Commission continues its efforts to locate him.
