EXCLUSIVE: Yahaya Bello On The Run – Trapped In Kogi Governor’s Custody As EFCC Issues Global Red Notice

Written By Oshiobugie John

Yahaya Bello, former governor of Kogi State, finds himself in a precarious situation, holed up in the “protective custody” of the Kogi state government after being declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), TheCable has learned.

Bello, who strategically appointed Ahmed Usman Ododo as his successor, has been shielded by state security agents following an aborted EFCC attempt to arrest him.

Sources reveal that the EFCC has escalated its efforts by issuing a Red Notice to Interpol, the international police organization, based on a warrant of arrest from a federal high court in Abuja.

A Red Notice is a serious global request to law enforcement agencies worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition or surrender, highlighting the gravity of Bello’s legal troubles.
