After EFCC declared Yahaya Bello wanted, FG takes daring moves

After the Economic and Financial Crime Comission, EFCC declared Yahaya Bello, the immediate-past governor of Kogi state, the federal government has now put him under watchlist.

The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has been directed to apprehend him at all points of entry and departure after alerting the nation’s security agencies.

Kemi Nanna Nandap, the Comptroller General of Immigration Service, made this revelation in a memo.

The letter was directed to the Inspector General of Police, the Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), and the Director General of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA).

Bello’s international passport data were contained in the memo signed by ACI DS Umar.

It read in part: “I am directed to inform you that the above named person has been placed on watch list.

“Suffice to mention that the subject is being prosecuted before the Federal High Court Abuja for Conspiracy, Breach of Trust and Money Laundering vide letter Ref; CR; 3000/EFCC/LS/EGCS.1/TE/V1/279 dated 18 April 2024. If seen at any entry or exit point, he should be arrested and referred to the Director of Investigation or contact 08036226329/07039617304 for further action.

“Please accept as always the Comptroller General warmest regards and esteem.”
