The Inspector General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun, has withdrawn all police officers attached to the embattled former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello. This is even as the Nigerian Immigration Service had placed the former governor on its watchlist, after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), declared him wanted in connection to an alleged case of money laundering to the tune of N80.2bn.

“Therefore, by filing charges of money laundering of over N80 billion against Mr. Yahaya Bello at the Federal High Court, the EFCC has diligently complied with the order of the Kogi State High Court. In the same vein, the order made by the Federal High Court for the arrest of Mr. Yahaya Bello for his arraignment is equally in line with the order of the Kogi State High Court.”
