Kogi Governor Visits Yahaya Bello As EFCC Operatives Storm His Residence In Abuja 

Governor Usman Ododo of Kogi State has visited the embattled former governor of the state, Yahaya Bello, amidst heavy security crackdown on the latter’s residence in Abuja.

According to reports, Ododo arrived at Bello’s residence at about 2:30 pm on Wednesday, alongside several security operatives and youth supporters protesting against the siege to the former governor’s home.

It was learnt that there was heavy presence of armed operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, policemen, operatives of the Department of State Security, Counter Terrorism Unit, and Yahaya Bello’s private security team.

EFCC operatives had on Wednesday morning stormed Bello’s Abuja home located in Wuse Zone 4, Federal Capital Territory.

Photographs shared on Wednesday show some armed EFCC personnel laying siege to the ex-governor’s home on Benghazi Street, Wuse Zone 4, Abuja.

As of press time, we could not independently confirm the reason behind the siege on Bello’s home.

However, the EFCC had earlier dragged Yahaya Bello, his nephew Ali, one Dauda Sulaiman, and Abdulsalam Hudu before Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, in an amended charge in March 2024 over an alleged N84bn money laundering.
