Following months of allegedly hiding from authorities over invitation for questioning, former Kogi state Governor, Yahaya Bello has turned himself in to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
According to a statement released today by Ohiare Michael, the Director, Yahaya Bello Media Office, Mr. Bello has honoured the invitation of the EFCC “after due consultations with his family, legal team and political allies.”

This is coming shortly after Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court Abuja adjourned proceedings on the alleged money laundering case instituted by the EFCC against Bello on September 25.
Recall that the EFCC had sued the former governor on a 19-count charge of alleged money laundering to the tune of ₦80bn.
However, Bello has consistently refused to honour EFCC’s invitations for questioning, and has consistently boycotted court trials.
