Former Kogi State Governor , Yahaya Bello on Tuesday voluntarily surrendered himself to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for investigation of allegation of corruption levelled against him by the anti – graft agency.
Bello was accompanied to the Abuja headquarters of the EFCC by a team of lawyers.
Bello arrived at the EFCC office in a black Hilux
This development comes in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling that upheld the constitutionality of the EFCC’s operations, allowing the agency to proceed with its investigations.
Despite previous speculation regarding his visit, Bello’s media representatives did not provide comments on the matter.
The EFCC had previously requested an adjournment during a court hearing on November 14, seeking additional time for the case against Bello, with a new court date set for November 27.
Meanwhile, his co-defendants, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, were granted administrative bail.
