The anti-graft agency’s operatives’ attempt yesterday to arrest him at his 9, Benghazi Street Zone 4, Wuse, Abuja residence was hampered by the presence of tight security and the interference of the current Governor of Kogi State, Usman Ododo, who ensured that the suspect was spirited away in his official vehicle.
Bello was absent from court for his arraignment on Thursday.
