VIDEO: EFCC BARRICADES GOVERNOR YAHAYA BELLO'S HOUSE IN ABUJA

 

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), have barricaded the house of the immediate past governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello in Wuse, Abuja.

Zynga News reports that the EFCC siege is coming days after the former governor held a meeting with President Bola Tinubu, at the State House.

It was reliably gathered that there is currently no movement in and around the house located at Benghazi Street, Wuse Zone 4 in the nation's federal capital. 

On Wednesday, a top source shared the photograph showing how operatives of the EFCC barricaded the access road to the Bello's house.

The source said: "EFCC barricades Bello' house in Abuja. 

No movement in the area as EFCC barricaded the house. 

They are yet to gain access."

Watch Video:


Although there was no immediate information available to the reason while the anti-graft agency stormed the former governor's residence, it may be connected with the 84 Billion naira fraud case against him which the EFCC is prosecuting.

The EFCC had charged the former governor with financial fraud to the tune of 84 Billion naira.

The anti-graft commission in an amended charge, accused Bello of diverting 80 Billion naira of state funds in September 2015, four months before he assumed office.

Recall that the EFCC had arraigned Bello’s nephew, Ali Bello, before the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, for alleged money laundering to the tune of 10 Billion naira belonging to the State government.
