The economic and financial crimes commission, EFCC has denied reports that former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello is its Custody.
The Commission in a statement by Head, Media & Publicity, Dele Oyewale, stated that Bello has been declared wanted for alleged N80.2billion money laundering charges, and remains wanted with a subsisting warrant for his arrest.
Earlier today, the Director, Yahaya Bello Media Office, Ohiare Michael, said Bello had honoured the invitation of the EFCC after due consultations with his family, legal team and political allies.
The move comes after Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court Abuja adjourned proceedings on the alleged money laundering case instituted by the EFCC against Bello to September 25.
It would be recalled that Bello was sued by the EFCC on a 19-count charge of alleged money laundering to the tune of ₦80bn but has consistently boycotted court trials.
