Former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has honoured an invitation from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), his media office confirmed.
Bello, facing 19 counts of money laundering totalling N80.2 billion, was accompanied by high-profile Nigerians to the EFCC headquarters. His office stated he has “nothing to hide and nothing to fear.”
The former governor has been in a long-standing dispute with the EFCC over alleged financial impropriety during his tenure.
In a statement, Bello’s media office emphasized his commitment to clearing his name and supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s anti-corruption efforts.
EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede previously vowed to resign if Bello is not prosecuted.
No comment was available from EFCC spokesperson Dele Oyewale.
