Before the notice of arrest, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in its Facebook handle declared Yahaya Bello wanted over the failed attempt to arrest him on Wednesday.

Also, the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Kayode Egbetokun, withdrew all policemen and officers attached to the former Kogi governor.

It is reported that Yahaya Bello has been seeking solace at the Kogi State Governor’s Lodge in Lokoja to avoid being arrested.
