Reports indicate that there is currently restricted movement in and around the house situated at Benghazi Street, Wuse Zone 4, in the nation’s federal capital. A reliable source revealed that EFCC operatives have barricaded the access road to Bello’s residence, with no access granted yet.

While the precise reason behind the EFCC’s siege on the former governor’s residence remains undisclosed, it may be linked to the ongoing ₦84 billion fraud case being prosecuted against him. The EFCC had previously filed charges against Bello, alleging financial fraud amounting to ₦84 billion.

In an amended charge, the anti-graft commission accused Bello of diverting ₦80 billion of state funds in September 2015, four months before he assumed office.
