“Anybody with information as to his whereabout should report immediately to the commission or the nearest police station,” the notice read.
The EFCC described Yahaya Bello as a 48-year-old Ebiraman, who is a native of Okene Local Government of Kogi State.
ADULAWO reported that operatives of the anti-graft agency invaded Bello’s residence in Abuja on Wednesday, attempting to arrest him over an ongoing investigation into financial fraud.
However, his successor, Governor Usman Ododo, smuggled Yahaya Bellow out of his residence.
