EFCC Places Barricade Around Kogi Ex-Gov. Yahaya Bello’s House in Abuja Amidst N84 Billion Fraud Case

Reports indicate that the residence of Yahaya Bello, the former governor of Kogi State, has been barricaded by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Wuse, Abuja, Aso Naija Reports.

This action by the EFCC comes shortly after the ex-governor’s meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the State House.

Photographs shared by a reliable source depict the EFCC’s blockade of the access road leading to Bello’s house.

As of now, the EFCC has not gained entry into the premises of Yahaya, resulting in restricted movement in the area.

While the specific reason for the EFCC’s operation at the former governor’s residence remains undisclosed, it is likely connected to the ongoing N84 billion fraud case against him, which the EFCC is prosecuting.

The charges leveled against Bello accuse him of financial fraud amounting to N84 billion, with the anti-graft commission asserting that he diverted N80 billion of state funds in September 2015, four months before assuming office.
