Former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, on Tuesday, honoured the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) again over alleged misappropriation of funds.
Freedom Online reports that Yahaya Bello went to the office with his lawyers on Tuesday morning. His successor, Governor of Kogi State, Usman Ododo, was not present.
This follows the Supreme Court judgement which dismissed states’ case on the constitutionality of the anti-graft agency.
The former Governor drove himself in a black Toyota Hilux vehicle to the EFCC office with his lawyers.
There were insinuations last week that he was going to visit the EFCC but the former governor’s media aides did not respond to enquiries on the information.
At the last hearing on November 14, the EFCC had sought for adjournment to tomorrow (November 27) in the fresh case it instituted against Bello, saying the 30 days window was still running for the summons earlier issued.
The EFCC, however, admitted his co-defendants, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, to administrative bail and prayed the court for extension of time for the 1st Defendant to appear.
