Austin Okai, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) candidate for House of Representatives in the Dekina/Bassa Federal Constituency in the 2023 elections, has asserted that Yahaya Bello, the most recent governor of Kogi State, is now hidden in the state government house.
Remember that Bello was listed as sought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in April?
This came after the former governor was unable to show up for his arraignment over alleged N84 billion in money laundering before Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court Abuja.

Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is asked to report right away to the commission or the closest police station, according to the anti-graft agency.
But the PDP chefiatin said in a statement on Friday that Ododo was involved in “helping the Bello evade the EFCC by whisking him away from Benghazi Street Zone 4 in Abuja.”
According to him, “This information was reportedly brought to the President and Commander-in-Chief by the Northern Ethnic Youth Group Assembly (NEYGA).
“The Attorney General of the Federation also warned Ododo about obstructing justice.
