By Hussaini Ibrahim
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) on Thursday, declared a former governor of Kogi, Alhaji Yahaya Bello wanted in connection with alleged money laundering.
This is contained in a notice posted on the commission’s website.
“The public is hereby notified that Yahaya Adoza Bello (former Governor of Kogi State), whose photograph appears above is wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in connection with alleged case of Money Laundering to the tune of N80,246,470,089.88.
“Bello, a 48-year-old Ebira man, is a native of Okenne Local Government of Kogi State.
“His last known address is: 9, Benghazi Street, Wuse Zone 4, Abuja.”
The notice further asked any one with useful information about the former governor’s whereabouts to contact any of the commission’s offices across the country.
The anti-graft commission had made unsuccessful attempt to arrest Bello on Wednesday when its operatives laid siege to his residence in Abuja.
