The Federal High Court in Abuja has authorized the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to apprehend ex-Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State ahead of his scheduled court appearance on Thursday.

Justice Emeka Nwite approved the warrant earlier today upon the request of the EFCC.

The Kogi State High Court issued a contradictory ruling that prevented the EFCC from taking any action to apprehend, detain, or prosecute the former governor.
