1 min read
A former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, on Tuesday honoured the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Bello arrived at the office of the anti-graft agency office along with his lawyers.
His visit to the commission follows the Supreme Court judgment which dismissed states’ case on the constitutionality of the anti-graft agency.
It was also gathered that Bello drove himself in a black Hilux to the EFCC office with his lawyers.

There were insinuations last week that he was going to visit the EFCC but the former governor’s media aides did not respond to enquiries on the information.
Recall that at the last hearing on the fresh charges preferred against the former governor which is before Justice Maryanne Anenih of the Federal Capital Territory High Court Maitama in Abuja, heard on November 14, the EFCC had sought for an adjournment to tomorrow (November 27) in the fresh case it instituted against Bello, saying the 30 days window was still running for the summons earlier issued.
The EFCC, however, admitted his co-defendants, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, to administrative bail and prayed to the court for an extension of time for the 1st Defendant to appear.
