The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is ramping up its investigation into the aides of former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello, ahead of his court appearance scheduled for October 24, 2024. The probe focuses on allegations of corruption and financial mismanagement during Bello’s tenure from 2016 to 2024.
Sources suggest that several of Bello’s former aides, some now serving in the current administration, may face arrest for their involvement in the alleged misconduct. The EFCC has reportedly gathered substantial evidence against Bello, exceeding what has been presented in court so far.
Despite evading arrest for months, Bello is expected to face a new 16-count charge alongside co-defendants. EFCC insiders believe the case will bring significant revelations, possibly altering the stance of Bello’s supporters.
