BREAKING: Abuja Court grants EFCC permission to arrest ex-Kogi governor, Bello

The Federal High Court Sitting in Abuja, on Wednesday granted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) permission to arrest the former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, preparatory to his arraignment on Thursday.

Justice Emeka Nwite granted the warrant this afternoon at the instance of the EFCC.

This is coming few hours after a Kogi State High Court in a conflicting ruling restrained the EFCC from arresting, detaining or prosecuting the ex-governor.
