The aide-de-camp (ADC) to former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, has been arrested and detained by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
The
Female police officer and others were arrested days after the former governor
evaded arrest by EFCC operatives on Wednesday, April 17.
The
officers were taken into custody on suspicion of aiding and abetting Bello’s
escape from EFCC operatives. The anti-graft agency had stormed Bello's house to
arrest him over allegations of money laundering and financial misconduct while
in office.
The
Nigeria Police Force has yet to release an official statement regarding the
arrests, but police sources say the officers could face charges related to
obstruction of justice or conspiracy to hinder a law enforcement operation.
