Yahaya Bello Not in EFCC Custody, Says Commission
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has refuted media reports claiming that former Governor of Kogi State, Mr. Yahaya Bello, is currently in its custody. In a statement released by Dele Oyewale, Head of Media & Publicity for the Commission, via its official X account on September 18, 2024, the EFCC clarified that these reports are inaccurate.
The Commission further emphasized that while Yahaya Bello remains wanted in connection with an alleged N80.2 billion money laundering case, he is not in the EFCC’s holding facility. The statement reiterated that there is an active warrant for Bello’s arrest, and the search for him continues.
The EFCC urged the public to disregard any false reports and assured that it remains committed to bringing the former governor to justice in accordance with the law.
