The EFCC has denied reports from certain media sources suggesting that Yahaya Bello is currently in their custody.
A statement by Dele Oyewale, Head of Media, says Bello has been declared wanted for alleged N80.2 billion money laundering.
The statement reads: “Yahaya Bello not in EFCC Custody.
“Media reports today that a former Governor of Kogi State, Mr. Yahaya Bello is in the holding facility of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is incorrect. The Commission wishes to state that Bello is not in its custody.
“Bello, already declared wanted by the Commission for alleged N80.2billion money laundering charges, remains wanted with a subsisting warrant for his arrest.”
