The immediate past governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, is seeking the transfer of his alleged fraud case with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to Kogi State.

Bello has been in a running battle with the anti-graft agency over alleged involvement in the mismanagement of the state fund during his tenure as Governor.

According to TVC News, Bello has requested that since he was alleged to have committed the offence when he was the state governor, it is proper for the case to be held in Kogi State.

It will be recalled that the former governor had on four occasions refused to appear in court, citing various reasons, like bias against him by the anti-graft agency.

The whereabouts of the former governor have remained unknown since operatves of the anti-graft agency attempted to arrest him from his Abuja residence.
