Tension in Abuja as EFCC Moves to Arrest Yahaya Bello

There are indications that the former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, may be forcibly arrested soon as operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) move to detain him in Abuja.

The media office of the former governor has raised the alarm, alleging that EFCC operatives were firing shots sporadically during the operation. In a statement made available to PUNCH on Wednesday, the Director of Media for Bello’s office, Ohiare Michael, stated that the operatives “are currently at the Kogi Government Lodge in Asokoro in an attempt to forcibly arrest former Governor Yahaya Bello.”
