IGP WITHDRAW ALL POLICEMEN ATTACHED TO YAHAYA BELLO

The Inspector General of Police, Olukayode Egbetokun, has withdrawn all police officers attached to the former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello.

The order for the withdrawal was contained in a police wireless message.

Bello was declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on April 18 after his absence from the federal high court in Abuja “stalled his arraignment.”

The document with reference number: “CB:4001/DOPS/PMF/FHQ/ABJ/VOL.48/ 34 partly reads, “IG has ordered the withdrawal of all policemen attached to His Excellency and former Executive Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello.

Recall that the Nigerian Immigration Service had earlier placed the former governor on its watch list 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.
