The Inspector General of Police, IGP Olukayode Egbetokun, has issued a directive for the immediate withdrawal of police personnel assigned to the former governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello.
According to a police wireless message emanating from the Nigeria Police headquarters and directed to MOPL 37 in Lokoja, the withdrawal is in effect. The document, bearing reference number “CB:4001/DOPS/PMF/FHQ/ABJ/VOL.48/ 34,” explicitly states, “IG has ordered the withdrawal of all policemen attached to His Excellency and former Executive Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello. Acknowledge compliance and treat with utmost importance. Please, above, for your information and strict compliance.”
This development follows recent events wherein the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) issued an internal circular placing the former Governor under watchlist. The move comes in the wake of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)’s attempts to apprehend Yahaya Bello at his Abuja residence. Subsequently, the EFCC declared him wanted in connection to allegations of money laundering amounting to N80.2 billion.
