Why the police ordered detention of Yahaya Bello’s ADC

The aide-de-camp (ADC) of former Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello was ordered to be detained by police force headquarters because he refused to provide information about how the former governor escaped from his Abuja home, where EFCC agents were waiting to apprehend him.

Remember that when the EFCC besieged the house’s entry, Kogi Governor Ododo, who succeeded him, visited the residence, stayed for a while, and then departed, bringing with him rumors that Yahaya Bello had been smuggled out in the governor’s vehicle.

The claim made on Channels television that former governor Yahaya Bello was not transported away in Governor Ododo’s automobile was, however, refuted by Kogi State’s Commissioner for Information, Mr. Kingsley Fanwo, who claimed the story was being promoted by special interests.

The former governor and other police guards were ordered to report to the FCT Criminal Investigations Department, where they were held, after sources revealed that the ADC was summoned to provide an explanation for how the former governor escaped but she was noncompliant.

According to sources, she was contacted as a part of an inquiry to find out how Yahaya Bello left the residence and whether or not the officers were involved at all.

“The investigation is to reveal what she knows about the escape of the former governor and where he may possibly be”

An continuing probe into the former governor’s alleged misbehavior and potential legal violations included the EFCC operation to arrest him last Wednesday.

Several efforts to get the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi to give an update on how long the ADC will be detained and if she would be made to face purnishment through orderly room trial if found wanting, proved abourtive. The FPRO neither picked calls nor responded to sms/whatsapp messages
