Few days ago, the Federal High Court in Abuja authorized the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to apprehend ex-Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State ahead of his scheduled court appearance on Thursday.
Justice Emeka Nwite approved the warrant earlier on Wednesday upon the request of the EFCC.
Meanwhile, the Kogi State High Court has issued a contradictory ruling that prevented the EFCC from taking any action to apprehend, detain, or prosecute the former governor.

Justice I.A Jamil of High Court IV gave the order in a two hour judgement delivered in suit no HCL/68/M/2020 in Lokoja on Wednesday.
The judge said that infringing on the fundamental human rights of the former Kogi is null and void except as authorised by the Court.
Recall, on Wednesday, Kogi State Governor, Ododo escaped his predecessor, Yahaya Bello from being arrested by the officials of the EFCC in Abuja.
