Following the recent announcement, the ongoing saga involving the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello has intensified. The EFCC has declared Bello wanted for alleged money laundering to the tune of N80 billion.
**EFCC’s Siege and Bello’s Escape**
EFCC officials laid siege to Bello’s Abuja residence, leading to a dramatic incident where Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello allegedly aided Bello’s escape.
**Melaye’s Anti-Corruption Stance**
Senator Dino Melaye has consistently taken an anti-corruption stance, providing evidence to the EFCC against Bello in the past. His recent tweet suggests a wider scale of financial mismanagement.
**Allegations of Unaccounted Funds**
Melaye’s tweet reads, “The total sum of all these monies does not include what Kogi got from Paris club, bail out 1 and 2.”
This raises concerns about the management of public funds and the accountability of elected officials.
**Fiscal Transparency Concerns**
Melaye’s assertion highlights potential gaps in fiscal transparency, prompting questions about the proper utilization of state finances.
