Court Summon Yahaya Bello
Former Kogi governor Yahaya Bello is under protective custody by the state government after being declared wanted by the EFCC.
Eko Hot Blog reports that Former Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello is reportedly under the protective custody of the current state Governor, Usman Ododo.
Bello has been in the custody of the Kogi state government since being declared wanted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
According to Cable News, Bello is receiving protection from state security agents following an unsuccessful attempt by the EFCC to arrest him.
The EFCC had previously issued a Red Notice for Bello to the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), based on a warrant of arrest issued by a federal high court in Abuja.
Interpol has been asked by the EFCC to place Yahaya Bello on its watchlist in three North African countries: Morocco, Tunisia, and Algeria.

Other countries where the ex-governor is on the watchlist are Egypt, Libya and Sudan.
Sources in the anti-graft agency disclosed that there are many options on the table in dealing with the Bello situation, which include but is not limited to storming the Kogi State Government House in Lokoja, where the ex-governor is believed to be hiding.
The watch list was activated ahead of the July 17th expected appearance of the former governor before a Federal High Court in Abuja.
