But Abdulwahab Muhammed, Bello’s lawyer, said his client was in his State when the EFCC operatives besieged his residence.

 

Bello was absent in court earlier today when the EFCC arraigned him.

 

His arraignment came after a warrant of arrest and enrolment order was granted to the EFCC by the court on Wednesday.
