According to multiple sources speaking to Sahara Reporter, Bello, who is wanted by the EFCC for alleged fraud amounting to over N80 billion, intends to relocate to the North African country where one of his wives is currently residing and managing their investments.

Additionally, a family member disclosed that Bello holds two passports, one from a North African country and another from an Arab nation, where he reportedly has significant investments valued at millions of dollars.

The source said, “He is planning to go to Morocco. He also has investments in Dubai. Under Bello’s administration, apart from Okene local government and probably two or three local government within his Senatorial district, that enjoy projects like hospital of 50 beds respectively, no other local government does.”

Another source who spoke to the aforementioned publication also lamented that Yahaya Bello enslaved the people of Kogi State during his eight-year tenure in office.

“We challenge his media team to point out if in the remaining 16 local governments, there was a single borehole for water, road project or any housing scheme construction work done by Yahaya Bello administration in the last 8 years apart from housing estates constructed by his predecessor and landmark properties.

“Kogi State was enslaved under Yahaya Bello due to occultic powers and unreported killings due to fear,” another source added.

Another source added, “Former governor, Yahaya’s administration was a disaster, characterised by mismanagement, stealing, misplacement of priorities, misappropriation, corruption, nepotism, killings and oppression.”

“The other option is that Bello is set to travel out of Nigeria as he has prepared for his bail in court with millions of dollars.”
