There was palpable panic as operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) reportedly fired several shots in the air during another attempt to arrest the immediate past Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello.
It was gathered that the operatives of the EFCC attempted to arrest the former governor in the middle of the night at the Kogi State Governor’s lodge in Asokoro, Abuja.
In a viral video, sounds of gunshots were shot sporadically in an attempt to arrest Yahaya Bello.
However, the arrest was said to be unsuccessful as Governor Usman Ododo reportedly intervened and managed to escort his predecessor from the scene.
It would be recalled that the EFCC announced that Yahaya Bello remains at large and is sought after for alleged money laundering involving approximately N80.2 billion.
The EFCC had declared Bello wanted for financial crimes totalling N80.2 billion. Despite several court adjournments, Bello is yet to appear before the trial judge.
